LCM is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors in the numbers. Example: LCM 0f 9 and 25 is 225, which is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors in 9 and 25 (32 x 52).
The LCM of two or more numbers is the product of all the prime factors to their greatest power.

An example of how use this method:

Prime factors of 27 are 33

Prime factors of 30 are 2 x 3 x 5

Prime factors of 12 are 22 x 3

Prime factors of 8 are 23

The LCM of 27, 30, 12, and 8 is 23 x 33 x 5= 8 x 27 x 5 = 1,080
