What is the least common multiple of 5 and 60?

Answer 1

#60#

The larger number is the Least Common Multiple of two numbers whenever you need to find the Least Common Multiple of two numbers where the smaller is a factor of the larger.

Here numbers are #5# and #60# and #5# is factor of #60#, hence #60# is the Least Common Multiple.

Note Further, in such cases, smaller number is the greatest common factor of the two numbers. Here #5# is the greatest common factor of the two numbers #5# and #60#.
