What is the least common multiple (lcm) of 8 and 10?

LCM (8,10) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Least common multiple is the smallest number that is multiple of both the given numbers.

Example: LCM of 2 and 3 is 6 .

6 is a multiple of both 2 and 3 .

Given numbers are 8 and 10

First write both in factor form,

⇒ 8 = 2 × 2 × 2

⇒ 10 = 2 × 5

We find LCM by writing common terms one times and multiplying all terms together,

Here, 2 is common to both 8 and 10 so we write it once only.

Thus, LCM (8,10) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40.
