LCM of 10 and 25

Explanation:

The LCM of two non-zero integers, x(10) and y(25), is the smallest positive integer m(50) that is divisible by both x(10) and y(25) without any remainder.

Methods to Find LCM of 10 and 25

Let's look at the different methods for finding the LCM of 10 and 25.

  • By Prime Factorization Method
  • By Division Method
  • By Listing Multiples

LCM of 10 and 25 by Prime Factorization

Prime factorization of 10 and 25 is (2 × 5) = 21 × 51 and (5 × 5) = 52 respectively. LCM of 10 and 25 can be obtained by multiplying prime factors raised to their respective highest power, i.e. 21 × 52 = 50.
Hence, the LCM of 10 and 25 by prime factorization is 50.

LCM of 10 and 25 by Division Method

LCM of 10 and 25 by Division Method

To calculate the LCM of 10 and 25 by the division method, we will divide the numbers(10, 25) by their prime factors (preferably common). The product of these divisors gives the LCM of 10 and 25.

  • Step 1: Find the smallest prime number that is a factor of at least one of the numbers, 10 and 25. Write this prime number(2) on the left of the given numbers(10 and 25), separated as per the ladder arrangement.
  • Step 2: If any of the given numbers (10, 25) is a multiple of 2, divide it by 2 and write the quotient below it. Bring down any number that is not divisible by the prime number.
  • Step 3: Continue the steps until only 1s are left in the last row.

The LCM of 10 and 25 is the product of all prime numbers on the left, i.e. LCM(10, 25) by division method = 2 × 5 × 5 = 50.

LCM of 10 and 25 by Listing Multiples

To calculate the LCM of 10 and 25 by listing out the common multiples, we can follow the given below steps:

  • Step 1: List a few multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, . . . ) and 25 (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, . . . . )
  • Step 2: The common multiples from the multiples of 10 and 25 are 50, 100, . . .
  • Step 3: The smallest common multiple of 10 and 25 is 50.

∴ The least common multiple of 10 and 25 = 50.

LCM of 10 and 25 Examples

  1. Example 1: Verify the relationship between GCF and LCM of 10 and 25.

    Solution:

    The relation between GCF and LCM of 10 and 25 is given as,
    LCM(10, 25) × GCF(10, 25) = Product of 10, 25
    Prime factorization of 10 and 25 is given as, 10 = (2 × 5) = 21 × 51 and 25 = (5 × 5) = 52
    LCM(10, 25) = 50
    GCF(10, 25) = 5
    LHS = LCM(10, 25) × GCF(10, 25) = 50 × 5 = 250
    RHS = Product of 10, 25 = 10 × 25 = 250
    ⇒ LHS = RHS = 250
    Hence, verified.

  2. Example 2: Find the smallest number that is divisible by 10 and 25 exactly.

    Solution:

    The smallest number that is divisible by 10 and 25 exactly is their LCM.
    ⇒ Multiples of 10 and 25:

    • Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, . . . .
    • Multiples of 25 = 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, . . . .

    Therefore, the LCM of 10 and 25 is 50.

  3. Example 3: The GCD and LCM of two numbers are 5 and 50 respectively. If one number is 10, find the other number.

    Solution:

    Let the other number be p.
    ∵ GCD × LCM = 10 × p
    ⇒ p = (GCD × LCM)/10
    ⇒ p = (5 × 50)/10
    ⇒ p = 25
    Therefore, the other number is 25.
