Solved Examples

Examples

Example 1: Find the LCM of 2, 5 and 8.
Solution:
LCM of 2 and 5: Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ...
Multiples of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, ...
Multiples of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, ...
Smallest common multiple is 40.
Therefore, LCM(2, 5, 8) = 40. Example 2: Find the LCM of 12, 16 and 20.
Solution:
LCM of 12 and 16: Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, ...
Multiples of 16 = 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, ...
Multiples of 20 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, ...
Smallest common multiple is 240.
Therefore, LCM(12, 16, 20) = 240. Example 3: Find the LCM of 8, 10 and 12.
Solution:
LCM of 8 and 10: Multiples of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, ...
Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, ...
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, ...
Smallest common multiple is 120.
Therefore, LCM(8, 10, 12) = 120.

Least Common Multiple (LCM)

What is LCM?

LCM or Least Common Multiple, is the smallest number that is divisible by each of the given numbers without leaving a remainder.
The LCM formula can be expressed as,
LCM Formula:
LCM = (a × b)/ HCF(a,b)
where, a and b = Two terms
HCF(a, b) = Highest common factor of a and b.

How to find LCM?

The Least Common Multiple or LCM can be found using various methods, such as: Prime Factorization Method Division Method Listing Multiples Method Ladder Method Exponents Method Venn Diagram Method
