Find Least Common Multiple of 58, 108 and 258 using prime factorisation method.
Answer
LCM( 58, 108, 258 ) = 134676
Explanation
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
58 = 2 · 29
108 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 3 · 3
258 = 2 · 3 · 43
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
| 58 | = | 2 | · | 29 | ||||||||||
| 108 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | ||||
| 258 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 43 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
| 58 | = | 2 | · | 29 | ||||||||||||
| 108 | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | ||||||
| 258 | = | 2 | · | 3 | · | 43 | ||||||||||
| LCM | = | 2 | · | 2 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 3 | · | 29 | · | 43 | = | 134676 |
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The LCM is equal to the product of all the numbers on the diagram.
