LCM( 89, 79, 59 ) = 414829
Step 1: Write down factorisation of each number:
89 = 89
79 = 79
59 = 59
Step 2 : Match primes vertically:
89 | = | 89 | ||||
79 | = | 79 | ||||
59 | = | 59 |
Step 3 : Bring down numbers in each column and multiply to get LCM:
89 | = | 89 | ||||||
79 | = | 79 | ||||||
59 | = | 59 | ||||||
LCM | = | 59 | · | 79 | · | 89 | = | 414829 |
