"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3, 5 and 16?
Answer
LCM of 3, 5 and 16 is
240
First common multiples: 240, 480, 720, …
240 is divisible by all three: 240 ÷ 3 = 80, 240 ÷ 5 = 48, 240 ÷ 16 = 15 — and 80, 48 and 15 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 80 and of y/5 by 48 and of z/16 by 15.
3 — prime
5 — prime
16 = 24
| Prime | 3 | 5 | 16 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | — | — | 24 | 24 |
| 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 = 24 × 3 × 5 = 240
