Find Least Common Multiple of 210 and 308 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 210, 308 ) = 4620
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
210 = 2 · 3 · 5 · 7
308 = 2 · 2 · 7 · 11
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 210 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | ||||
| 308 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 7 | · | 11 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 210 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | ||||||
| 308 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 7 | · | 11 | ||||||
| LCM | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 5 | · | 7 | · | 11 | = | 4620 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The LCM is equal to the product of all the numbers on the diagram.
