Example: 30 and 42
Factor them.
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
You normally calculate the "least common multiple" for two or more numbers - not for a single number. The "least common multiple" of a single number, of course, is the number itself. Not much calculation involved there. Also, the "least common multiple" of several numbers must be at least as large as the largest of the numbers.
The least common multiple of the numbers 2,357 and 11 is 25,927.The least common multiple of the numbers 23, 57 and 11 is 14,421.
Calculate the least common multiple of the three numbers. Any multiple of that has all those numbers as factors.
All numbers with a least common multiple, have that multiple as a factor.
The least common multiple is one of the numbers when one of the numbers is a multiple of the other.
The least common multiple of the numbers 12 and 34 is 204.
The least common multiple of the numbers 210 and 90 is 630.
to find the least common multiple of two numbers you must list the factors then you can find out their least common multiple of the two numbers
You need at least to numbers to find a least common multiple.
The least common multiple of the numbers 8 and 6 is 24.
The least common multiple of the numbers 5 and 10 is 10.
The least common multiple of the numbers 2,460 and 72 is 14,760.The least common multiple of the numbers 24, 60 and 72 is 360.
