"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6, 18 and 27?
Answer
LCM of 6, 18 and 27 is
54
First common multiples: 54, 108, 162, …
54 is divisible by all three: 54 ÷ 6 = 9, 54 ÷ 18 = 3, 54 ÷ 27 = 2 — and 9, 3 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/6 by 9 and of y/18 by 3 and of z/27 by 2.
6 = 2 × 3
18 = 2 × 32
27 = 33
| Prime | 6 | 18 | 27 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | — | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 32 | 33 | 33 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 2 × 33 = 54
