LCM( 336, 107 ) = 35952
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
336 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 3 · 7
107 = 107
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
336 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 7 | ||
107 | = | 107 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
336 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 7 | ||||
107 | = | 107 | ||||||||||||||
LCM | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 7 | · | 107 | = | 35952 |
