Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a number is a multiple of both 5 and 7, which of the following is a possible value for this number?
  • Step 1: Understand what a multiple is. A multiple of a number is the result of multiplying that number by an integer.
  • Step 2: Identify the two numbers we are interested in: 5 and 7.
  • Step 3: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 7. This is the smallest number that is a multiple of both.
  • Step 4: Calculate the LCM of 5 and 7. Since 5 and 7 are prime numbers, their LCM is simply 5 multiplied by 7.
  • Step 5: Perform the multiplication: 5 * 7 = 35.
  • Step 6: Conclude that 35 is a multiple of both 5 and 7.
  • Multiples – Understanding that a multiple of a number is the product of that number and an integer.
  • Least Common Multiple (LCM) – Identifying the least common multiple of two numbers, which is the smallest number that is a multiple of both.
