LCM for 3 and 28

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3 and 28?

Answer: LCM of 3 and 28 is 84

(Eighty-four)

Finding LCM for 3 and 28 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 3 and 28 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 3 and 28 is 1, so

LCM = (3 × 28) ÷ 1

LCM = 84 ÷ 1

LCM = 84

Finding LCM for 3 and 28 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 3 and 28 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 81, 84, 87, 90

Multiples of 28: 28, 56, 84, 112, 140

So the LCM for 3 and 28 is 84

Finding LCM for 3 and 28 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 3 and 28 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 3: 3 (exponent form: 31)

All Prime Factors of 28: 2, 2, 7 (exponent form: 22, 71)

31 × 22 × 71 = 84
