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.
LCM = 11 ;
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2.2 and 5 is 11, found by identifying common multiples of both numbers. The multiples of 2.2 and 5 intersect at 11, making it the smallest number that satisfies both conditions.
