What is the LCM of 4, 10

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}$

The lcm stands for the least common multiple.

Using our times tables, let's find the lcm of 4 and 10.

$\bf{Which\;is\;20}$ . 40 is indeed a common multiple of 4 and 10, but it's not the least common multiple. The lcm is 20.

We can also list some multiples of 4 and 10 and find the lcm.

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40...

10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60...

As you can see, we end up with the same answer: the lcm of 4 and 10 is indeed 20.

$\cline{1-2}$

$\bf{Result:}$

$\bf{=Lcm=20}$

$\LARGE\boxed{\bf{aesthetic \\ot1 \theta l}}$
