What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6, 12 and 24?

Answer

LCM of 6, 12 and 24 is

First common multiples: 24, 48, 72, …

24 is divisible by all three: 24 ÷ 6 = 4, 24 ÷ 12 = 2, 24 ÷ 24 = 1 — and 4, 2 and 1 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/6 by 4 and of y/12 by 2.

6 = 2 × 3

12 = 2² × 3

24 = 2³ × 3

Prime	6	12	24	Highest power
2	2	2²	2³	2³
3	3	3	3	3

LCM = 2³ × 3 = 24
