Least Common Multiple (LCM) : Solved Examples

Prime Factorisation Method Division Method

Three persons started walking together from a same point. Length of their steps is 20 m, 25 m & 30 m. Find the minimum distance after which each meet other again after walking from same starting point.

Given in the question length of steps of three persons i.e. 20 m, 25 m & 30 m.

In order to find the minimum distance after which each meet other again, take LCM of length of steps of three persons and we get:

LCM of 20, 25 & 30 = 300 m

Therefore three persons will meet each other again at 300 m from the starting point.
