How to find the LCM of 6,7 and 9?

The LCM of 6,7 and 9 can be found by the following methods like division method, listing multiples, prime factorization.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 6,7 and 9 using Division method:

In the division method, we divide both the numbers by the lowest possible number until we get 1 for both numbers.


2 divides 6: → (3, 7, 9)


3 divides 3 and 9: → (1, 7, 3)


7 divides 7: → (1, 1, 3)


3 divides 3: → (1, 1, 1)


LCM = 2 × 3 × 7 × 3 = 126
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 6,7 and 9 using Listing multiples:

We write the multiples of both numbers till we find the common one.


Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, 120, 126


Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105, 112, 119, 126


Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126

 

The common multiple is 30. So, the LCM of 6,7 and 9 is 126.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

LCM of 6,7 and 9 using prime factorization:

We part each number into divisors and select the highest powers of all the prime factors.

 

6=  3 × 2


7= 7


9= 3 × 3


LCM = 2 × 32 × 7= 126.
