LCM for 77, 91 and 143
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 77, 91 and 143?
Answer
(One thousand one)
1,001 is the smallest positive integer that 77, 91 and 143 all divide without a remainder — every other common multiple of the three is a multiple of it.
Finding the LCM of 77, 91 and 143 by Prime Factorization
Split all three numbers into prime factors, then take every prime that shows up in at least one of them, each raised to the highest power it reaches there. Multiplying those highest powers gives the least common multiple:
All Prime Factors of 77: 7 × 11 (exponent form: 7 × 11)
All Prime Factors of 91: 7 × 13 (exponent form: 7 × 13)
All Prime Factors of 143: 11 × 13 (exponent form: 11 × 13)
| Prime factor | 77 | 91 | 143 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 7 | — | 7 |
| 11 | 11 | — | 11 | 11 |
| 13 | — | 13 | 13 | 13 |
LCM = 7 × 11 × 13 = 1,001
Checking the LCM of 77, 91 and 143 Two Numbers at a Time
The least common multiple is associative, so three numbers can be handled as two pairs: first the LCM of the first two, then the LCM of that value and the third. Each pair goes through the two-number formula, which uses the greatest common divisor:
LCM(a, b) = (a × b) ÷ GCD(a, b)
LCM(77, 91) = (77 × 91) ÷ 7 = 7,007 ÷ 7 = 1,001
LCM(1,001, 143) = (1,001 × 143) ÷ 143 = 143,143 ÷ 143 = 1,001
LCM(77, 91, 143) = 1,001
The pairs may be taken in any order — 91 and 143 first, then 77 — and the answer is the same 1,001. That is exactly why the two routes on this page agree.
