Open in App
Solution

Solve for LCM of given numbers

L.C.M. of rational numbers = L.C.M of numerators ÷ H.C.F of denominators

The numbers are 2510,510,1751000

L.C.M.(5,25,175) by prime factorization method

5=5×1

25=5×5

175=5×5×7

L.C.M.(5,25,175)=5×5×7=175

H.C.F.(10,10,1000) by prime factorization method

10=10×1

1000=10×10×10

H.C.F.(10,10,1000)=10

L.C.M.(2.5,0.5,0.175)=17510=17.5
Hence, LCM of 2.5,0.5,0.175 is 17.5
