The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest multiple that is evenly divisible by both.

To find the LCM of 4 and 5:

  1. List the multiples of each number:

    • Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, ...
    • Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ...
  2. Identify the smallest common multiple:

    • The smallest multiple that appears in both lists is 20.

Thus, the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
