The instructions to find the LCM of 24, 40, 64 and 129 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 24 | 2 |
| 12 | 2 |
| 6 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 1 |
| 40 | 2 |
| 20 | 2 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 1 |
| 64 | 2 |
| 32 | 2 |
| 16 | 2 |
| 8 | 2 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 1 |
| 129 | 3 |
| 43 | 43 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 24 | = | 23 . 3 |
| Prime factors of 40 | = | 23 . 5 |
| Prime factors of 64 | = | 26 |
| Prime factors of 129 | = | 3 . 43 |
3. Choose the common and uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent
Common prime factors: None
Common prime factors with the greatest exponent: None
Uncommon prime factors: 2 , 3 , 5 , 43
Uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent: 26, 31, 51, 431
4. Calculate the Least Common Multiple or LCM
Remember, to find the LCM of several numbers you must multiply the common and uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent of those numbers.
LCM = 26. 31. 51. 431 = 41280
