To find the lowest common multiple, first break down the two numbers into their prime factors:
8=2x2x2
28=2x2x7
Next identify any common factors and discard the duplicates. Both numbers have two 2s, so we can discard 2 of them, leaving us with 2,2,2 and 7.
Multiply these together for the lowest common multiple:
2x2x2x7 = 56, so 56 is the LCM of 8 and 28.
The lowest multiple of 3 and 8 is 3. This is not the lowest common multiple.
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 9 is 72.
The LCM is: 72The lowest common multiple of 8 and 18 is 72
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 20 is 40. 8 x 5 = 40 and 2 x 20 = 40.
The least common multiple of 4 , 14 , 8 = 56
The LCM is: 56
The LCM is: 56
280
The lowest multiple of 3 and 8 is 3. This is not the lowest common multiple.
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 14 is 56.
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 9 is 72.
The LCM is: 72The lowest common multiple of 8 and 18 is 72
24
The least common multiple of 8 , 28 = 56
It is infinity but the lowest common multiple is 8
2 and 3.* * * * *What???The lowest COMMON multiple is 72It is: 72
The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The least multiple of a number is itself.
