What is LCM of 119 and 153?


What is LCM?

In mathematics, least common multiple, which is ordinarily reffered to as LCM is characterized as the smallest non-zero number which is divisible by both given numbers 119 and 153.

Properties of LCM

  • The LCM of two given numbers is never less than any of those numbers. Eg- LCM of 119 and 153 is 1071, where 119 and 153 are less than 1071.
  • LCM is commutative which means LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(LCM(a, b), c) = LCM(a, LCM(b, c)).
  • The LCM of two or more prime numbers is exactly equal to their product.
  • LCM is associative which means LCM(119, 153) = LCM(153, 119).
  • LCM is distributive, which means LCM(ab, bc, ad) = d * LCM(x, y, z).

Franky and Joy are running on a circular track. They take 119 and 153 minutes respectively to go round once. We need to find out at what time (minimum) they will run together again. For this we need to find the LCM of 119 and 153.
So, LCM of 119 and 153 is 1071.

Boxes that are 119 inches tall are being pilled next to boxes that are 153 inches tall. What is the least height in feet at which the two piles will be the same height?

To find the least height in feet at which the two piles will be at same height we will find LCM of 119 and 153.
So, LCM of 119 and 153 is 1071.

Sammy's company prints 119 textbooks at a time. Daniel's company prints textbooks in sets of 153 at a time. According to a survey done by a committee, both companies printed the same number of textbooks last year. Find the least number of books that each company would have printed.

To find the least number of textbooks that each company could have printed we need to find the LCM of 119 and 153.
So, LCM of 119 and 153 is 1071.

Ariel exercises every 119 days and Rubel every 153 days. They both excercised today. How many days will it be until they excercise together again?

The problem can be solved using LCM, because we are trying to figure out the least time until they excercise together again.
So, LCM of 119 and 153 is 1071.
