Question

Explain how to find the LCM of 5 and 6.

Answer 1

For the lowest common multiple you do your times tables.

For example,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50.

Those are your times tables of 5.

On the other side do your 6 times tables up to 60.

6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60.

Now that you have got both,Write down the smallest number in them that they both have.

For example,it would be 30.

This is because that’s the smallest number in the multiple of both numbers.
