"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8, 24 and 40?
Answer
LCM of 8, 24 and 40 is
120
First common multiples: 120, 240, 360, …
120 is divisible by all three: 120 ÷ 8 = 15, 120 ÷ 24 = 5, 120 ÷ 40 = 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/8 by 15 and of y/24 by 5 and of z/40 by 3.
8 = 23
24 = 23 × 3
40 = 23 × 5
| Prime | 8 | 24 | 40 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | 23 | 23 | 23 |
| 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
