What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 15?
Answer
LCM of 8 and 15 is
120
First common multiples: 120, 240, 360, …
120 is divisible by both: 120 ÷ 8 = 15, 120 ÷ 15 = 8 — and 15 and 8 share no factor but 1, 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.
8 and 15 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 8 × 15 = 120.
8 = 23
15 = 3 × 5
| Prime | 8 | 15 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 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
