What is the least common multiple of 5 8 and 3?

Answer 1

The LCM of 3, 5 and 8 is 120.

You can find the LCM by listing the multiples of each number, and finding which is the lowest that they have in common.

The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 81, 84, 87, 90, 93, 96, 99, 102, 105, 108, 111, 114, 117, 120, and so on.

The multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, and so on.

The multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, and so on.

So the LCM of 3, 5, and 8 is 120.

Another method for finding the LCM of a set of numbers is to divide their product by their GCF.

The product of 3, 5, and 8 is 120.

Since 3 and 5 are prime, the GCF of 3, 5, and 8 is 1.

So the LCM of 3, 5, and 8 is 120.

LCM (3, 5, 8) = 120
