Question

Abigail and Grace collected clovers. Abigail collected clovers with
4 leafs and Grace collected clovers with 5 leafs. They counted the
number of leafs in both collections and realized that it is the
same. What is the least number of leafs that each collection must
have?

Answers

  1. Answer:

    20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the least number of leafs that each collection must have, we find the L.C.M of both numbers. So L.C.M of 4 and 5.

    The prime factors of 4 = 2²

    The prime factors of 5 = 5

    So L.C.M of 4 and 5 = 2² × 5 = 20

    So, the least number of leafs that each collection can have is 20 leafs.
