"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 9 and 18?
Answer
LCM of 4, 9 and 18 is
36
First common multiples: 36, 72, 108, …
36 is divisible by all three: 36 ÷ 4 = 9, 36 ÷ 9 = 4, 36 ÷ 18 = 2 — and 9, 4 and 2 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 9 and of y/9 by 4 and of z/18 by 2.
4 = 22
9 = 32
18 = 2 × 32
| Prime | 4 | 9 | 18 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | — | 2 | 22 |
| 3 | — | 32 | 32 | 32 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 22 × 32 = 36
