Question

what is the smallest common multiple of 4,6 and 5​

Answer 1

We can use prime factorization of each given number to determine the LCM.

4 : 2 * 2

6 : 2 * 3

5 : 5

Multiply each factor the maximum times it occurs in the three numbers.

LCM = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

       = 60

Answer 2

Given : The given numbers are 4,6 and 5

To find : The smallest common multiple.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the value smallest common multiple of the given numbers)

In this case, we have to calculate the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of the given numbers.

So, the LCM will be :

2| 4,6,5

________

2| 2,3,5

________

3| 1,3,5

________

5| 1,1,5

_________

ㅤ1,1,1

The LCM will be = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60

So,

The smallest common multiple of 4,6 and 5 = 60

(This will be considered as the final result of the given mathematical problem.)

Hence, the smallest common multiple of 4,6 and 5 is 60
