Maham has a number of apples. She could share my apples equally among 3, 4, or 5 people. What is the smallest number of apples Maham could have?

The value 60 is the LCM of 3, 4 and 5.

Explanation:

LCM = lowest common multiple

To find the LCM, we list out the prime factorization of each number

Ignoring the factors of 1, we have the unique primes of 2, 3, 5. There are 2 copies of '2', one copy of '3', and one copy of '5'. So we multiply this out to get 2*2*3*5 = 4*15 = 60

If she had 60 apples, and wanted to give them to 3 friends, then each friend gets 60/3 = 20 apples

If instead, she had 4 friends, then each friend gets 60/4 = 15 apples.

Or if she had 5 friends, then each friend gets 60/5 = 12 apples.

For any of those three cases, there are no leftovers or remainders.

Any multiple of 60 will work (eg: 120 or 180), but 60 is the smallest such number that allows her to divide the apples this way without any leftovers.

60

Step-by-step explanation:

60 / 3 = 15

60 / 4 = 20

60 / 5 = 12

They all divide evenly.

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.

answer: 270

step-by-step explanation:

you have to times 200 by 1.35 to get your answer
