Answer 1

To find least common multiples, first you need to know that MULTIPLE means the numbers you get when you "skip count". 5 x 1, 5 x 2, 5 x 3, etc. 1. Skip count by 5's: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 etc 2. Skip count by 6's: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 etc 3. What numbers do they have in common? You will notice that 30 and 60 is in both lists. But 30 is the LEAST of the numbers, so that is your answer.
