Work Shown
LCM = (x*y)/GCF
LCM = (12*5)/1
LCM = 60
The formula applies when dealing with two numbers only.
We can check this by listing out the multiples of each.
- 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, ...
- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, ...
The number 60 shows up as the first common multiple of both lists.
