Express each number in terms of its prime factors.
72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 23 x 32
168 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 23 x 3 x 7
The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor.
The highest power of 2 is 23, of 3 is 32, of 7 is 7.
The LCM is therefore 23 x 32 x 7 = 8 x 9 x 7 = 504
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 9 is 72.
The LCM is: 72The lowest common multiple of 8 and 18 is 72
360
The LCM is 72.
The LCM is 792.
The lowest common multiple of 24 and 72 is 72.
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 9 is 72.
The lowest common multiple (LCM) is: 72
Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 72 108 is 216
Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 48 72 is 144
2 and 3.* * * * *What???The lowest COMMON multiple is 72It is: 72
Multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, ...Multiples of 56: 56, 112, 168, 224, 280, ...Lowest common multiple: 168
The LCM is: 72The lowest common multiple of 8 and 18 is 72
It is infinite but the lowest common multiple is 288
72
72 is the answer.
288
