Question

How to calculate the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 3 numbers in Java

Answer 1

public class MyClass {
    static int getLMC(int a, int b, int c) {
        int lmc = Math.max(Math.max(a, b), c);
          
        while(true) {
            if (lmc % a == 0 && lmc % b == 0 && lmc % c == 0) {
                return lmc;
            }
            lmc++;
        }
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int a = 12, b = 15, c = 40;
 
        System.out.format("The LCM (Least Common Multiple) is: %d\n", getLMC(a, b, c));
    }
}
 
 
 
  
/*
run:
  
The LCM (Least Common Multiple) is: 120
  
*/

            if (lmc % a == 0 && lmc % b == 0) {
