What is the LCM of 2, 4 and 15?

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2, 4 and 15?

Answer

LCM of 2, 4 and 15 is

60

First common multiples: 60, 120, 180, …

60 is divisible by all three: 60 ÷ 2 = 30, 60 ÷ 4 = 15, 60 ÷ 15 = 4 — and 30, 15 and 4 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/2 by 30 and of y/4 by 15 and of z/15 by 4.

2 — prime

4 = 2²

15 = 3 × 5

Prime	2	4	15	Highest power
2	2	2²	—	2²
3	—	—	3	3
5	—	—	5	5

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 2² × 3 × 5 = 60
