Identify the Prime Factors of 20 and 48 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 20: 20 = 2 x 2 x 5 = 22 x 51
Prime Factorization of 48: 48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24 x 31
Prime Factors of 20 and 48: 2, 3 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 20 and 48 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(20,48) = 24 x 31 x 51
LCM(20,48) = 16 x 3 x 5
LCM(20,48) = 240
Least Common Multiple of 20 and 48 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
