LCM is a common multiple, the smallest value between the numbers 3 and 8. Did you know? We apply LCM unknowingly in everyday situations like setting alarms and to synchronize traffic lights and when making music.

What is the LCM of 9 and 15?

The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. We can find the LCM using the Listing multiples method, the prime factorization method and the long division method. These are explained below.

LCM of 9 and 15 Using Listing the Multiples

Step 1: Write down the multiples of the numbers. Don’t stop too early.

Multiples of 9 = 9,18,27,36,45,54,…

Multiples of 15 = 15,30,45,60,75,…

Step 2: Find the smallest number common between the written multiples of 9 and 15

The smallest common multiple is 45

Thus, LCM(9,15) = 45

LCM of 9 and 15 Using Prime Factorization

Step 1: factorize the numbers into its prime factors

9 = 3×3

15 = 3×5

Step 2:find the highest powers of the factors of 9 and 15

Step 3:Multiply the highest powers

LCM(9,15) = 45

LCM of 9 and 15 Using Division Method
