Math Problem Statement
Which one of the following number is divisible by 5 and 6 both?
Solution
To find which number is divisible by both 5 and 6, we need to determine the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 6. The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is divisible by both.
- The prime factorization of 5 is:
- The prime factorization of 6 is:
To get the LCM, we take the highest powers of all prime factors involved:
Thus, any number divisible by both 5 and 6 must be divisible by 30. If you're given a list of numbers, you should check which one is divisible by 30.
If you provide a list, I can help identify the correct number.
Would you like more details or have any further questions? Here are five related questions for exploration:
- How do you calculate the LCM for other numbers?
- Can a number be divisible by 5 but not 6?
- How can you quickly identify if a number is divisible by 5 or 6?
- What is the difference between GCD and LCM?
- What are some other common divisibility rules?
Tip: A number divisible by 5 will always end in 0 or 5!
