Find the smallest whole number that is divisible by 10 and 12.

  1. 40
  2. 30
  3. 72
  4. 60

hintHint:

In this question we have to find the lowest number which is divisible by both 10 and 12.The lowest whole number that is divisible by both the numbers will be the LCM of 10 and 12.

The correct answer is: 60


    Step1: We are given numbers 10 and 12.
    And we have to find the LCM of 10 and 12.
    Step2: We know that Multiples of 10  are:10 comma 20 comma 30 comma 40 comma 50 comma 60 comma 70 comma space...
    And the multiples of 12 are:12 comma 24 comma 36 comma 48 comma 60 comma 72 comma space...
    Step3: Now we have to find the LCM of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, ...
    From the above multiples of 10 and 12 it can be easily seen that the least common multiple of  is 60
    Hence the least common whole number which is divisible by both 10 and 12 is 60.
