What is the least common multiple of 25 and 50?

1 Answer

Jul 4, 2017

$50$ $50$

Explanation:

You have to factor each number into its prime factors:

$25 = 5^{2}$ $25=5^2$
$50 = 5^{2} \cdot 2$ $50=5^2*2$

You now have to multiply each different factor that has the highest exponent:

$lcm = 5^{2} \cdot 2 = 50$ $lcm=5^2*2=50$

The lowest common multiple is $50$ $50$ .
