Given Numbers: 18, 30
Identify the Prime Factors of 18 and 30 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 18: 18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 21 x 32
Prime Factorization of 30: 30 = 2 x 3 x 5 = 21 x 31 x 51
Prime Factors of 18 and 30 (collectively): 2, 3 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 18 and 30 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(18, 30) = 21 x 32 x 51
LCM(18, 30) = 2 x 9 x 5
LCM(18, 30) = 90
Least Common Multiple of 18 and 30 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
