Use in Mathematics: LCM of 5, 7 and 43
The below are some of the mathematical applications where lcm of 5, 7 and 43 can be used:
- to find the least number which is exactly divisible by 5, 7 and 43.
- to find the common denominators for the fractions having 5, 7 and 43 as denominators in the unlike fractions addition or subtraction.
In the context of lcm real world problems, the lcm of 5, 7 and 43 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 43 seconds repeatedly. The answer is that all bells A, B and C toll together at 1505 seconds for the first time, at 3010 seconds for the second time, at 4515 seconds for the third time and so on.
Important Notes: 5, 7 and 43 lcm
The below are the important notes to be remembered while solving the lcm of 5, 7 and 43:
- The repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 5, 7 and 43 should be multiplied to find the least common multiple of 5, 7 and 43, when solving lcm by using prime factors method.
- The results of lcm of 5, 7 and 43 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 43?
The below solved example with step by step work shows how to find what is the lcm of 5, 7 and 43 by using either prime factors method and special division method.
Solved example using prime factors method:
What is LCM of 5, 7 and 43?
step 1
Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
A = 5
B = 7
C = 43
What to be found:
Find lcm of 5, 7 and 43
step 2 Find the prime factors of 5, 7 and 43:
Prime factors of 5 = 5
Prime factors of 7 = 7
Prime factors of 43 = 43
step 3Identify the repeated and non-repeated prime factors of 5, 7 and 43:
Since there is no common factors between 5, 7 and 43, multiplying the given numbers directly provides the LCM of
5, 7 and 43.
= 5 x 7 x 43
= 1505
LCM(5, 7 and 43) = 1505
Hence,
The Least Common Multiple of 5, 7 and 43 is 1505
This special division method is one of the easiest ways to understand the entire calculation to find the LCM of 5, 7 and 43.
step 1 Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
Integers: 5, 7 and 43
What to be found:
lcm (5, 7, 43) = ?
step 2 Arrange the given integers in the horizontal form with space or comma separated format:
5, 7 and 43
step 3 Choose the divisor which divides each or most of the given integers (5, 7 and 43), 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 43 is not divisible by the selected divisor; repeat the same process until all the integers are brought to 1 as like below:
| 5 | 5 | 7 | 43 |
| 7 | 1 | 7 | 43 |
| 43 | 1 | 1 | 43 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
step 4 Multiply the divisors to find the lcm of 5, 7 and 43:
= 5 x 7 x 43
= 1505
LCM(5, 7, 43) = 1505
The LCM of three numbers 5, 7 and 43 is 1505
