Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2.2 and 5.

Asked by lhellens

Answer (3)

The correct answer is:
11
Explanation :
To find the LCM, we first find the prime factorization of each number:
2.2 = 2 × 1.1 5 = 5 × 1
We look for common factors first. There are none, except for 1, which is a factor of every number. Next we multiply the uncommon factors:
2(5)(1.1) = 10(1.1) = 11
The LCM is 11.
