To find the LCM of four numbers you first have to express these numbers as products of their prime factors. In the case of 3, 10, 12 and 8, this is:
3 = 3
10 = 2x5
12 = 2x2x3
8 = 2x2x2
The next step is to identify and discard any common prime factor duplicates. In this case, three numbers have a 2, so we can discard two of them. Two numbers have a second 2, so we can discard one of them. Two numbers have a 3, so we can discard one of them. Thus, the prime factors left are 2, 2, 2, 3 and 5. Multiply these together to find the LCM:
2x2x2x3x5 = 120
Thus the LCM of 3, 10, 12 and 8 is 120.

What is the LCM of the numbers 8 10 and 12?
LCM of 8, 10 & 12 = 120Prime factorization of:8 = 2 * 2 * 210=2............512=2 * 2 ........ * 3============LCM=2*2* 2 * 5 * 3 = 120
What is the LCM of 5 10 12 8?
LCM of 5 10 12 8 is 120.
What is the least common multiple of 5 8 12 and 10?
LCM of 5, 8, 10, and 12. 5 = 5 8 = 23 10 = 2 x 5 12 = 23 x 3 LCM = 23 x 3 x 5 = 120 Or, since 5 is the only odd number, the LCM will end with 0. One of the multiples of 12 ending with 0 is 60 or 120. Since 60 is not divided evenly by 8, then 120 is the LCM.
What is the LCM of 4 and 8 and 10 and 3?
