"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 16 and 36?
Answer
LCM of 4, 16 and 36 is
144
First common multiples: 144, 288, 432, …
144 is divisible by all three: 144 ÷ 4 = 36, 144 ÷ 16 = 9, 144 ÷ 36 = 4 — and 36, 9 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/4 by 36 and of y/16 by 9 and of z/36 by 4.
4 = 22
16 = 24
36 = 22 × 32
| Prime | 4 | 16 | 36 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | 24 | 22 | 24 |
| 3 | — | — | 32 | 32 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 24 × 32 = 144
