LCM( 35, 67, 89 ) = 208705
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
35 = 5 · 7
67 = 67
89 = 89
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
35 | = | 5 | · | 7 | ||||
67 | = | 67 | ||||||
89 | = | 89 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
35 | = | 5 | · | 7 | ||||||
67 | = | 67 | ||||||||
89 | = | 89 | ||||||||
LCM | = | 5 | · | 7 | · | 67 | · | 89 | = | 208705 |
