Given Numbers: 12, 27
Identify the Prime Factors of 12 and 27 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 12: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 = 22 x 31
Prime Factorization of 27: 27 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 33
Prime Factors of 12 and 27 (collectively): 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 12 and 27 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(12, 27) = 22 x 33
LCM(12, 27) = 4 x 27
LCM(12, 27) = 108
Least Common Multiple of 12 and 27 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
