The LCM of the given two numbers is 48
Two or more numbers are normally needed to find the LCM
5 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60, the LCM
If it's the lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of 12, 20, 24 and 32 that you're after, I think it's 480 (but my maths is a little rusty)
2 x 2 x 3 = 12 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 108, the LCM
It is: 60
The LCM of the given two numbers is 48
They are: 12 and 360 respectively
Two or more numbers are normally needed to find the LCM
That's a lot of extra work for this problem but here goes. 3 is already prime so it doesn't really have a factor tree or prime factorization. The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2 which looks like this in a factor tree.42,23 and 4 have no common prime factors, so the LCM is their product, 12
12=22x3 15=3x5 So the LCM of 2, 12 and 15 is 22x3x5 = 60
2 x 2 x 3 = 12 3 x 7 = 21 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 84, the LCM
the prime factorization of 12 in exponents is 2 to the second power times 3
2 x 2 = 4 2 x 3 = 6 2 x 2 x 3 = 12, the LCM
22 x 3 = 12
To find the LCM of 12, 30, and 150, we need to decompose the numbers into their prime factors. The prime factorization of 12 is 2^2 * 3, the prime factorization of 30 is 2 * 3 * 5, and the prime factorization of 150 is 2 * 3 * 5^2. Now, we need to choose the common and uncommon prime factors with the highest exponent. The common prime factors are 2 and 3, and the uncommon prime factors are 5 and 2^2. Therefore, the LCM of 12, 30, and 150 is 2^2 * 3 * 5^2 = 300. [1]
