Example: 30 and 42
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
No. You can only find the LCM of at least two numbers, prime or otherwise. The LCM of any two prime numbers is their product.
a and b have no common prime factors. Their LCM is their product.
The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2. It is not possible to find the LCM of a single number.
The LCM of a set of prime numbers is their product.
Prime numbers help you to find the LCM and the GCF.
When all of them are prime numbers,then just multiply the numbers to get the LCM of those 3 numbers.
You can find the GCF and/or the LCM of a set of numbers by comparing the prime factorizations of the individual members of the set.
That appears to be the prime factorization of 14175. If you compare that to the prime factorization of another number, you will be able to find the LCM between the two.
The LCM of the given three numbers using prime factorization is 25200
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3 and 25 is 75. To find the LCM, you need to determine the prime factors of each number. The prime factorization of 3 is 3, and the prime factorization of 25 is 5^2. To find the LCM, you take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, which in this case is 3 * 5^2 = 75.
Multiply them together.
If the second number is a multiple of the prime number, than the LCM is the second number. If the second number is not a multiple of the prime number, then the two numbers are relatively prime, and the LCM is the product of the two numbers.
