Find Least Common Multiple of 215 and 13 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 215, 13 ) = 2795
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
215 = 5 · 43
13 = 13
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 215 | = | 5 | · | 43 | ||
| 13 | = | 13 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 215 | = | 5 | · | 43 | ||||
| 13 | = | 13 | ||||||
| LCM | = | 5 | · | 13 | · | 43 | = | 2795 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The LCM is equal to the product of all the numbers on the diagram.
