Given Numbers: 4, 8, 12
Identify the Prime Factors of 4, 8 and 12 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 4: 4 = 2 x 2 = 22
Prime Factorization of 8: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
Prime Factorization of 12: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 = 22 x 31
Prime Factors of 4, 8 and 12 (collectively): 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 4, 8 and 12 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(4, 8, 12) = 23 x 31
LCM(4, 8, 12) = 8 x 3
LCM(4, 8, 12) = 24
Least Common Multiple of 4, 8 and 12 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
