Determine the least common multiple of 17 and 32 lcm1732Solu

Determine the least common multiple of 17 and 32.

lcm(17,32)=

to find the LCM first we need to factorize them:

17= 1 * 17

32 = 1*2*2*2*2*2

Make a group of common terms and write one term from grouped values, and also multiply the non grouped values as well:

grouped value is 1,1 and ungrouped is 17 and 2*2*2*2*2

So LCM=1 * 17 * 2*2*2*2*2= 17*32 = 544
