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