Given Numbers: 2, 4, 8
Identify the Prime Factors of 2, 4 and 8 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 2: 2 = 21 (prime number)
Prime Factorization of 4: 4 = 2 x 2 = 22
Prime Factorization of 8: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
Prime Factor of 2, 4 and 8: 2
Least Common Multiple of 2, 4 and 8 is their Prime Factor raised to its highest occurrence (largest exponent):
LCM(2, 4, 8) = 23
LCM(2, 4, 8) = 8
LCM(2, 4, 8) = 8
Note: Since the given numbers are powers of 2 (prime powers), the largest one (8) is equal to the Least Common Multiple (LCM)
