i need to know the answer for the lowest multiple for 36 and 40
2006-09-25 07:35:51 · update #1
First write the prime factorizations:
36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
40 = 2 x 2 x 2 X 5
The LCM has to have the most of each factor that appears in either number,
so it is 2 X 2 X 2 X 3 X 3 X 5 or 360

36=3x3x2x2
40=2x2x5x2
so LCM=3x3x2x2x2x5=360
the least common multiple of 36 and 40=360

Let us find out LCM(LEAST COMMON MULTIPLIER)
PRIME FACTORISATION:
36=2*2*1*3*3
40=2*2*2*5*1
LCM=2*2*2*3*3*5
LCM=360
