Given Numbers: 5, 8, 20
Identify the Prime Factors of 5, 8 and 20 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 5: 5 = 51 (prime number)
Prime Factorization of 8: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
Prime Factorization of 20: 20 = 2 x 2 x 5 = 22 x 51
Prime Factors of 5, 8 and 20 (collectively): 2 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 5, 8 and 20 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(5, 8, 20) = 23 x 51
LCM(5, 8, 20) = 8 x 5
LCM(5, 8, 20) = 40
Least Common Multiple of 5, 8 and 20 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
