"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 30, 36 and 48?
Answer
LCM of 30, 36 and 48 is
720
First common multiples: 720; 1,440; 2,160; …
720 is divisible by all three: 720 ÷ 30 = 24, 720 ÷ 36 = 20, 720 ÷ 48 = 15 — and 24, 20 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/30 by 24 and of y/36 by 20 and of z/48 by 15.
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
36 = 22 × 32
48 = 24 × 3
| Prime | 30 | 36 | 48 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 22 | 24 | 24 |
| 3 | 3 | 32 | 3 | 32 |
| 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 × 32 × 5 = 720
