What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6, 18 and 30?

Answer

LCM of 6, 18 and 30 is

First common multiples: 90, 180, 270, …

90 is divisible by all three: 90 ÷ 6 = 15, 90 ÷ 18 = 5, 90 ÷ 30 = 3 — and 15, 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/6 by 15 and of y/18 by 5 and of z/30 by 3.

6 = 2 × 3

18 = 2 × 3²

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

Prime	6	18	30	Highest power
2	2	2	2	2
3	3	3²	3	3²
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 = 2 × 3² × 5 = 90
