2 | 64 | 96 | 120 | 108 |
32 | 48 | 60 | 54 |
Step 3 : Continue dividing by prime numbers till we get 1 in all columns.
2 | 64 | 96 | 120 | 108 |
2 | 32 | 48 | 60 | 54 |
2 | 16 | 24 | 30 | 27 |
2 | 8 | 12 | 15 | 27 |
2 | 4 | 6 | 15 | 27 |
2 | 2 | 3 | 15 | 27 |
3 | 1 | 3 | 15 | 27 |
3 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 9 |
3 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
5 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Step 4 : Multiply numbers in first column to get LCM.
LCM( 64, 96, 120, 108 ) = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 5 = 8640 .
