Given Numbers: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
Identify the Prime Factors of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 2: 2 = 21 (prime number)
Prime Factorization of 3: 3 = 31 (prime number)
Prime Factorization of 4: 4 = 2 x 2 = 22
Prime Factorization of 6: 6 = 2 x 3 = 21 x 31
Prime Factorization of 8: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
Prime Factors of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 (collectively): 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(2, 3, 4, 6, 8) = 23 x 31
LCM(2, 3, 4, 6, 8) = 8 x 3
LCM(2, 3, 4, 6, 8) = 24
Least Common Multiple of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
