Full solution

Q. What is the least common multiple of 1212 and 1010 ?\newlinelcm(12,10)= \operatorname{lcm}(12,10)=
  1. Prime factorization of 1212: To find the LCM of 1212 and 1010, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number.\newlinePrime factorization of 1212: 12=22×3 12 = 2^2 \times 3 \newlinePrime factorization of 1010: 10=2×5 10 = 2 \times 5
  2. Prime factorization of 1010: Next, we take the highest powers of all the prime factors that appear in the factorization of both numbers to find the LCM.\newlineFor 1212 and 1010, the highest powers of the prime factors are 22 2^2 , 3 3 , and 5 5 .
  3. Finding the highest powers of prime factors: Now, we multiply these highest powers together to get the LCM.\newlineLCM(1212, 1010) = 22×3×5 2^2 \times 3 \times 5 \newlineLCM(1212, 1010) = 4×3×5 4 \times 3 \times 5 \newlineLCM(1212, 1010) = 12×5 12 \times 5 \newlineLCM(1212, 1010) = 60 60
