To find a number greater than 19 and less than 34 that is divisible by both 6 and 10, we will first find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 10.

The prime factorization of the numbers is:

  • \(6 = 2 \times 3\)
  • \(10 = 2 \times 5\)

The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor:

  • \(2^1\)
  • \(3^1\)
  • \(5^1\)

Thus, the LCM is: \[ LCM = 2^1 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 30 \]

Next, we will check if 30 is in the range between 19 and 34.

Since \(19 < 30 < 34\), this number satisfies the conditions of being greater than 19 and less than 34.

Finally, we check if it is indeed divisible by both 6 and 10:

  • \(30 \div 6 = 5\) (which is an integer)
  • \(30 \div 10 = 3\) (which is also an integer)

Therefore, the number greater than 19 and less than 34 that is divisible by both 6 and 10 is: \[ \boxed{30} \]
