Minimo Comune Multiplo (MCM)
This page introduces the concept of Minimo Comune Multiplo MCM, also known as the Least Common Multiple. It explains the definition and provides methods for calculating the MCM.
Definition: The Minimo Comune Multiplo is the smallest of the common multiples of two or more numbers.
For smaller numbers, you can use the graphical method to find the MCM:
Example: Calculate MCM15,10
M15 = {15, 30, 45, 60, 75, ...}
M10 = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, ...}
MCM15,10 = 30
The graphical representation shows the multiples of both numbers, making it easy to identify the smallest common multiple.
Highlight: The graphical method provides a visual and intuitive way to determine the MCM for smaller numbers.
