34 => 2 x 17
= 5 x 7 x 2 x 17
= 1190
lcm (5, 7 and 34) = 1190
The LCM of 5, 7 and 34 is 1190
where,
5 is a positive integer,
7 is a positive integer,
1190 is the LCM of 5, 7 and 34,
in {5, 7, 2 x 17} there is no repeated factors of 5, 7 and 34,
{5, 7, 2, 17} in {5, 7, 2 x 17} are the the other remaining factors of 5, 7 and 34.
Use in Mathematics: LCM of 5, 7 and 34
The below are some of the mathematical applications where lcm of 5, 7 and 34 can be used:
- to find the least number which is exactly divisible by 5, 7 and 34.
- to find the common denominators for the fractions having 5, 7 and 34 as denominators in the unlike fractions addition or subtraction.
In the context of lcm real world problems, the lcm of 5, 7 and 34 helps to find the exact time when three similar and recurring with different time schedule happens together at the same time. For example, the real world problems involve lcm in situations to find at what time all the bells A, B and C toll together, if bell A tolls at 5 seconds, B tolls at 7 seconds and C tolls at 34 seconds repeatedly. The answer is that all bells A, B and C toll together at 1190 seconds for the first time, at 2380 seconds for the second time, at 3570 seconds for the third time and so on.
Important Notes: 5, 7 and 34 lcm
The below are the important notes to be remembered while solving the lcm of 5, 7 and 34:
- The repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 5, 7 and 34 should be multiplied to find the least common multiple of 5, 7 and 34, when solving lcm by using prime factors method.
- The results of lcm of 5, 7 and 34 is identical even if we change the order of given numbers in the lcm calculation, it means the order of given numbers in the lcm calculation doesn't affect the results.
How-to: What is LCM of 5, 7 and 34?
The below solved example with step by step work shows how to find what is the lcm of 5, 7 and 34 by using either prime factors method and special division method.
Solved example using prime factors method:
What is LCM of 5, 7 and 34?
step 1
Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
A = 5
B = 7
C = 34
What to be found:
Find lcm of 5, 7 and 34
step 2 Find the prime factors of 5, 7 and 34:
Prime factors of 5 = 5
Prime factors of 7 = 7
Prime factors of 34 = 2 x 17
step 3Identify the repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 5, 7 and 34:
Since there is no common factors between 5, 7 and 34, multiplying the given numbers directly provides the LCM of
5, 7 and 34.
= 5 x 7 x 34
= 1190
LCM(5, 7 and 34) = 1190
Hence,
The Least Common Multiple of 5, 7 and 34 is 1190
This special division method is one of the easiest ways to understand the entire calculation to find the LCM of 5, 7 and 34.
step 1 Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
Integers: 5, 7 and 34
What to be found:
lcm (5, 7, 34) = ?
step 2 Arrange the given integers in the horizontal form with space or comma separated format:
5, 7 and 34
step 3 Choose the divisor which divides each or most of the given integers (5, 7 and 34), divide each integers separately and write down the quotient in the next line right under the respective integers. Bring down the integer to the next line if any integer in 5, 7 and 34 is not divisible by the selected divisor; repeat the same process until all the integers are brought to 1 as like below:
| 2 | 5 | 7 | 34 |
| 5 | 5 | 7 | 17 |
| 7 | 1 | 7 | 17 |
| 17 | 1 | 1 | 17 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
step 4 Multiply the divisors to find the lcm of 5, 7 and 34:
= 2 x 5 x 7 x 17
= 1190
LCM(5, 7, 34) = 1190
The LCM of three numbers 5, 7 and 34 is 1190
