What is the least common multiple of 44 and 5? (LCM of 44 and 5)?

What is the Least Common Multiple of 44 and 5?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 44 and 5 is the smallest positive number that is a multiple of both 44 and 5.

Here we will show you two different ways to figure out the Least Common Multiple of 44 and 5.

Our favorite way is to find the prime factors of each number and then merge them together to get the answer.

The prime factor(s) of 44 are:
2 x 2 x 11

The prime factor(s) of 5 are:
1 x 5

Merging them together using the least amount of factors, you get:

2 x 2 x 5 x 11

Then you can multiply those numbers together to get the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 44 and 5 as follows:

220

To find the Least Common Multiple of 44 and 5, you can also make a list of multiples of 44 and a list of multiples of 5.

Multiples of 44 would be 44, 88, 132, 176 and so on.

Multiples of 5 would be 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on.

Now, compare the two lists to find the smallest number the two lists have in common, which is the Least Common Multiple of 44 and 5. You will once again see that the answer will be:

220
