In practical terms, it is only necessary to find the LCM of 16 & 18 as 9 is a factor of 18.
Express each number in terms of its prime factors.
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 2 x 32
The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor.
The highest power of 2 is 24 and of 3 is 32.
The LCM is therefore 24 x 32 =16 x 9 = 144
144
LCM(9, 16, 18) = 144
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 9 16 18 is 144.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 18 16 9 is 144.
The LCM is 18.
The LCM of 16 and 18 is 144.
The LCM of 18 and 16 is 144.
To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3, 9, 6, and 18, we first need to factorize each number into its prime factors. 3 = 3, 9 = 3^2, 6 = 2 * 3, and 18 = 2 * 3^2. Then, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the factorizations, which gives us 2^1 * 3^2 = 18. Therefore, the LCM of 3, 9, 6, and 18 is 18.
The LCM is 18.
The LCM of 3, 6 and 9 is 18.
The LCM is 5040.
The LCM is 720.
