Question

What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 12?

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

Some people think this concept is confusing. Let's break it down. First, let's ask, what is a multiple?

We get a multiple of a number when we multiply it by another number other than zero. For example:

Multiples of 10:
`10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100...`

Multiples of 12:
`12,24,36,48,60,72,84,96,108...`

The Least Common Multiple is the smallest multiple of the two numbers. The smallest multiple we see 10 and 12 have is 60.

Answer 2

The LCM of 10 and 12 = 60.
