What is the least common multiple of 8 and 10

Question

Bot · Answer

The prime factorization of 8 is $2^3$, and the prime factorization of 10 is $2\cdot 5$. The LCM must include all the prime factors of both numbers, raised to the highest powers they appear in either factor. Therefore, the LCM is $2^3\cdot 5=\boxed{40}$.

Isn't it awful dealing with a bot ??? 8 and 10 8 = 2*2*2 10= 2*5 the LCM is 2*2*2*5 = 40 (I think somewhere is that gibberish the bot did have 40)

I am sorry about that earlier confusion. Yes, you are correct. The prime factorization of 8 is $2^3$, and the prime factorization of 10 is $2\cdot 5$. The LCM must include all the prime factors of both numbers, raised to the highest powers they appear in either factor. Therefore, the LCM is $2^3\cdot 5=\boxed{40}$. Thank you for correcting me.
