What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8, 15 and 18?
Answer
LCM of 8, 15 and 18 is
360
First common multiples: 360; 720; 1,080; …
360 is divisible by all three: 360 ÷ 8 = 45, 360 ÷ 15 = 24, 360 ÷ 18 = 20 — and 45, 24 and 20 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/8 by 45 and of y/15 by 24 and of z/18 by 20.
8 = 23
15 = 3 × 5
18 = 2 × 32
| Prime | 8 | 15 | 18 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | — | 2 | 23 |
| 3 | — | 3 | 32 | 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 = 23 × 32 × 5 = 360
