"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 8 and 9?
Answer
LCM of 4, 8 and 9 is
72
First common multiples: 72, 144, 216, …
72 is divisible by all three: 72 ÷ 4 = 18, 72 ÷ 8 = 9, 72 ÷ 9 = 8 — and 18, 9 and 8 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 18 and of y/8 by 9 and of z/9 by 8.
4 = 22
8 = 23
9 = 32
| Prime | 4 | 8 | 9 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | 23 | — | 23 |
| 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 = 23 × 32 = 72
