"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5, 9 and 15?
Answer
LCM of 5, 9 and 15 is
45
First common multiples: 45, 90, 135, …
45 is divisible by all three: 45 ÷ 5 = 9, 45 ÷ 9 = 5, 45 ÷ 15 = 3 — and 9, 5 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/5 by 9 and of y/9 by 5 and of z/15 by 3.
5 — prime
9 = 32
15 = 3 × 5
| Prime | 5 | 9 | 15 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | — | 32 | 3 | 32 |
| 5 | 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 = 32 × 5 = 45
