Identify the Prime Factors of 7 and 8 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 7: 7 = 71
Prime Factorization of 8: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
Prime Factors of 7 and 8: 2 and 7
Least Common Multiple of 7 and 8 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(7,8) = 23 x 71
LCM(7,8) = 8 x 7
LCM(7,8) = 56
Least Common Multiple of 7 and 8 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
