Example: 30 and 42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Example: 30 and 42
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM no matter what you use.
The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2. It is not possible to find the LCM of a single number.
The LCM of 36 and 63 is 252. To find the LCM, find the prime factorization of both numbers. The prime factorization of 36 is 3*3*2*2 The prime factorization of 63 is 3*3*7 3*3*2*2*7=252
The LCM of the given two numbers is 48
Two or more numbers are normally needed to find the LCM
The LCM of the given three numbers using prime factorization is 25200
You have written the prime factorization for 432. You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
Prime factorization.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM no matter what you use.
You can find the GCF and/or the LCM of a set of numbers by comparing the prime factorizations of the individual members of the set.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM no matter what method you choose.
The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2. It is not possible to find the LCM of a single number.
Draw the prime factorization table and put both the numbers on it. Find common prime factors and divide both of them writing the products down. Do this until the quotients are either 1 or any prime number. Write down all the factors used and it will be the prime factorization. Multiply them and you will find the LCM of the numbers. Here, 18,21 6,7...................(/3) Prime factorization=6*7*3 LCM=42*3=126
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
It doesn't matter which method you use. You still need at least two numbers to find an LCM. There is no LCM of 20.
The LCM of these numbers is 740. LCM is Least Common Multiple.
