How do you find the least common multiple of 10 and 12?

Answer 1

The multiples of 10 are 10,20,30,40,50,60,70 etc. The multiples of 12 are 12,24,36, 48, 60 The smallest number which is a multiple of both 10 and 12 is 60

Or express both numbers in prime factor form: 10 =2x5 12=2x2x3 2 is common to both so the LCM is 2x2x3x5=60

To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 12, first list the multiples of each number until you find a common multiple:

Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, ... Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, ...

The least common multiple is 60. Therefore, the LCM of 10 and 12 is 60.
