Identify the Prime Factors of 5 and 12 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 5: 5 = 51
Prime Factorization of 12: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 = 22 x 31
Prime Factors of 5 and 12: 2, 3 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 5 and 12 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(5,12) = 22 x 31 x 51
LCM(5,12) = 4 x 3 x 5
LCM(5,12) = 60
Least Common Multiple of 5 and 12 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
