"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3, 9 and 24?
Answer
LCM of 3, 9 and 24 is
72
First common multiples: 72, 144, 216, …
72 is divisible by all three: 72 ÷ 3 = 24, 72 ÷ 9 = 8, 72 ÷ 24 = 3 — and 24, 8 and 3 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 24 and of y/9 by 8 and of z/24 by 3.
3 — prime
9 = 32
24 = 23 × 3
| Prime | 3 | 9 | 24 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | — | — | 23 | 23 |
| 3 | 3 | 32 | 3 | 32 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 32 = 72
