what is the lcm of 10, 12, 14

Question

What is the lCM of 10, 12, and 14.

Answer 1

Write the prime factorization of each number

10 = 1 * 2 * 5

12 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 3= 1 * 2² * 3

14 = 1 * 2 * 7

Multiply highest power of  each factor in the either number

L.C.M = 1¹ * 2² * 3¹ * 5 ¹ * 7¹

         = 420

L.C.M of of 10, 12, and 14 is 420.

 

Answer 2

Least - common - multiples(10, 12, 14)

L.C.M(10, 12, 14) = 2 * 5 * 6 * 7

                             = 420.

Least - common - multiples of 10, 12 and 14 is 420.
