Find Least Common Multiple of 110 and 154 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 110, 154 ) = 770
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
110 = 2 · 5 · 11
154 = 2 · 7 · 11
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 110 | = | 2 | · | 5 | · | 11 | ||
| 154 | = | 2 | · | 7 | · | 11 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 110 | = | 2 | · | 5 | · | 11 | ||||
| 154 | = | 2 | · | 7 | · | 11 | ||||
| LCM | = | 2 | · | 5 | · | 7 | · | 11 | = | 770 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The LCM is equal to the product of all the numbers on the diagram.
