Find the LCM of 4, 6, 8.


Given: 4, 6, and 8.

To find: We need to find the LCM 4, 6, and 8.

Solution: Writing all the numbers as a product of their prime factors:

Prime factorization of 4:
  • 2 $\times $ 2 = 22
Prime factorization of 6:
  • 2 $\times $ 3 = 21 $\times $ 31
Prime factorization of 8:
  • 2 $\times $ 2 $\times $ 2 = 23
Find highest power of each prime number:
  • 23 , 31
Multiply these values together:
  • 23 $\times $ 31 = 24
Thus,
LCM(4, 6, 8) = 24
