"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3, 4 and 5?
Answer
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is
60
First common multiples: 60, 120, 180, …
60 is divisible by all three: 60 ÷ 3 = 20, 60 ÷ 4 = 15, 60 ÷ 5 = 12 — and 20, 15 and 12 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/3 by 20 and of y/4 by 15 and of z/5 by 12.
3 — prime
4 = 22
5 — prime
| Prime | 3 | 4 | 5 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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
