Question

What is the least common multiple of 5 and 60?

Answer 1

`60`

Explanation:

Whenever you have to find Least Common Multiple of two numbers, among whom smaller is a factor of the larger, the larger number is the Least Common Multiple of two numbers.

Here numbers are `5` and `60` and `5` is factor of `60`, hence `60` is the Least Common Multiple.

Note Further, in such cases, smaller number is the greatest common factor of the two numbers. Here `5` is the greatest common factor of the two numbers `5` and `60`.
