If kinaata goes for swimming lessons every 5 days while Wayo goes every 6 days. if both kinaata and Wayo had swimming lessons together at the pool today, after how many days will both meet again at the pool for lessons?​

Step-by-step explanation:

we need the least or smallest common multiple for both numbers, 5 and 6.

this is very simple for the small numbers here, but in general we look at the prime factors of both numbers :

6 has the prime factors 2 and 3.

5 has only 5.

so, the LCM is 2×3×5 = 30.

they will meet again after 30 days.

FYI -

the LCM is for larger numbers a and b not automatically a×b. if both numbers share prime factors, the LCM can be smaller than a×b, as the LCM is using every overlapping prime factor only once.
