"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8, 15 and 24?
Answer
LCM of 8, 15 and 24 is
120
First common multiples: 120, 240, 360, …
120 is divisible by all three: 120 ÷ 8 = 15, 120 ÷ 15 = 8, 120 ÷ 24 = 5 — and 15, 8 and 5 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 15 and of y/15 by 8 and of z/24 by 5.
8 = 23
15 = 3 × 5
24 = 23 × 3
| Prime | 8 | 15 | 24 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | — | 23 | 23 |
| 3 | — | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 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 × 3 × 5 = 120
