LCM for 6,28, 48
Least Common Multiple is the smallest number these
three will individually divide into.
To find it find the prime number factors of the three numbers, as follows:
6=2*3
28=(2^2)*7
48=(2^4)*3
Now take every different prime factor in its highest power to form the LCM,
as follows:
LCM = (2^4)*3*7= 16*21= 336

6 = 2*3
28 = 2*2*7
48 = 2*2*2*2*3
Now, choose the numbers that make six.
2*3
Now, look at the numbers that make up 28. What numbers don't we have so far?
2*3*2*7 already have one two, so do not use
Now, repeat step two for the numbers that make up 48
2*3*2*7*2*2
The product is 336
