Given Numbers: 5, 6, 8
Identify the Prime Factors of 5, 6 and 8 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 5: 5 = 51 (prime number)
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 5, 6 and 8 (collectively): 2, 3 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 5, 6 and 8 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(5, 6, 8) = 23 x 31 x 51
LCM(5, 6, 8) = 8 x 3 x 5
LCM(5, 6, 8) = 120
Least Common Multiple of 5, 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.
