Lowest common multiple (LCM)

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 20 and 70?

    140

    The highest common factor of 20 and 70 is 10, so LCM = (20 × 70) ÷ 10 = 140.

  2. 2. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 16 and 20?

    80

    The highest common factor of 16 and 20 is 4, so LCM = (16 × 20) ÷ 4 = 80.

  3. 3. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 14 and 21?

    42

    The highest common factor of 14 and 21 is 7, so LCM = (14 × 21) ÷ 7 = 42.

  4. 4. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 35?

    105

    The highest common factor of 15 and 35 is 5, so LCM = (15 × 35) ÷ 5 = 105.

  5. 5. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 30 and 50?

    150

    The highest common factor of 30 and 50 is 10, so LCM = (30 × 50) ÷ 10 = 150.

  6. 6. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12?

    24

    The highest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4, so LCM = (8 × 12) ÷ 4 = 24.

  7. 7. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 33 and 55?

    165

    The highest common factor of 33 and 55 is 11, so LCM = (33 × 55) ÷ 11 = 165.

  8. 8. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 30?

    60

    The highest common factor of 12 and 30 is 6, so LCM = (12 × 30) ÷ 6 = 60.

  9. 9. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 25 and 30?

    150

    The highest common factor of 25 and 30 is 5, so LCM = (25 × 30) ÷ 5 = 150.

  10. 10. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 16?

    48

    The highest common factor of 12 and 16 is 4, so LCM = (12 × 16) ÷ 4 = 48.

  11. 11. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?

    12

    The highest common factor of 4 and 6 is 2, so LCM = (4 × 6) ÷ 2 = 12.

  12. 12. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 9?

    18

    The highest common factor of 6 and 9 is 3, so LCM = (6 × 9) ÷ 3 = 18.
