LCM( 528, 7, 1023 ) = 114576
Step 1 : Place the numbers inside division bar:
528 | 7 | 1023 |
Step 2 : Find a prime number which can divide at least two of your numbers.
In this example we can divide by 3. If any number is not divisible by 3 write it down unchanged.
3 | 528 | 7 | 1023 |
176 | 7 | 341 |
Step 3 : Repeat Step 2 until you can no longer divide.
3 | 528 | 7 | 1023 |
11 | 176 | 7 | 341 |
16 | 7 | 31 |
Since there are no primes that divides at least two of given numbers, we conclude that the LCM is a product of starting numbers.
LCM = 528 · 7 · 1023 = 114576
