Identify the Prime Factors of 5 and 20 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 5: 5 = 51
Prime Factorization of 20: 20 = 2 x 2 x 5 = 22 x 51
Prime Factors of 5 and 20: 2 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 5 and 20 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(5,20) = 22 x 51
LCM(5,20) = 4 x 5
LCM(5,20) = 20
Least Common Multiple of 5 and 20 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
