Find Least Common Multiple of 195, 210 and 270 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 195, 210, 270 ) = 24570
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
195 = 3 · 5 · 13
210 = 2 · 3 · 5 · 7
270 = 2 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 5
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 195 | = | 3 | · | 5 | · | 13 | ||||||||
| 210 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | ||||||
| 270 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 5 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 195 | = | 3 | · | 5 | · | 13 | ||||||||||
| 210 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | ||||||||
| 270 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 5 | ||||||
| LCM | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | · | 13 | = | 24570 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The LCM is equal to the product of all the numbers on the diagram.
