Ladder Help

1. Start with smallest prime factor.
2. Divide the number by it.
3. Write prime factor on right.
4. Place the quotient below.
5. Repeat with same prime factor.
6. Move to next prime factor if not divisible.
7. Continue until 1.
8. Numbers on the right are prime factors.

What is Ladder?

The ladder method involves repeatedly dividing the number by the smallest prime numbers, starting from 2 until the quotient becomes 1. The divisors are arranged in a ladder formation, hence the method name is ladder.

Venn Diagram Help

1. Draw circles for the numbers.
2. Circle represents the factors.
3. Place common factors in overlaps.
4. Keep unique factors separate.
5. Multiply inside and outside factors.
6. Obtain the LCM.

What is Venn Diagram?

The Venn Diagram Method for LCM uses circles to represent prime factors of numbers. Common factors go in overlaps, unique factors in sections. Multiply within and outside overlaps to get LCM quickly.

Solved Examples

Examples

Example 1: Find the LCM of 4, 5 and 8.
Solution:
Prime factors of 4 = 2, 2
Prime factors of 5 = 5
Prime factors of 8 = 2, 2, 2
Write these prime factors into the venn diagram for each number.
Multiply each prime factor in the venn diagram to find the LCM.
Therefore, LCM(4, 5, 8) = 40. Example 2: Find the LCM of 8, 12 and 30.
Solution:
Prime factors of 8 = 2, 2, 2
Prime factors of 12 = 2, 2, 3
Prime factors of 30 = 2, 3, 5
Write these prime factors into the venn diagram for each number.
Multiply each prime factor in the venn diagram to find the LCM.
Therefore, LCM(8, 12, 30) = 120. Example 3: Find the LCM of 10, 25 and 30.
Solution:
Prime factors of 10 = 2, 5
Prime factors of 25 = 5, 5
Prime factors of 30 = 2, 3, 5
Write these prime factors into the venn diagram for each number.
Multiply each prime factor in the venn diagram to find the LCM.
Therefore, LCM(10, 25, 30) = 150.

Exercise

1. LCM(20,30,40) = 120. 2. LCM(16,24,32) = 96. 3. LCM(15,20,48) = 240. 4. LCM(6,7,21) = 42. 5. LCM(12, 18, 24) = 72. 6. LCM(21, 24, 30) = 840. 7. LCM(6, 12, 15) = 60. 8. LCM(6, 9, 15) = 90. 9. LCM(12, 16, 24) = 48. 10. LCM(8, 12, 15) = 120.

Least Common Multiple (LCM)

What is LCM?

LCM or Least Common Multiple, is the smallest number that is divisible by each of the given numbers without leaving a remainder.
The LCM formula can be expressed as,
LCM Formula:
LCM = (a × b)/ HCF(a,b)
where, a and b = Two terms
HCF(a, b) = Highest common factor of a and b.

How to find LCM?
