To find the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers 35, 78, and 99, we can use the prime factorization method.
First, let's find the prime factorization of each number: 35 = 5 * 7 78 = 2 * 3 * 13 99 = 3 * 3 * 11
Next, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers:
5 * 7 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 13 * 11 = 2 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 = 30030
Therefore, the least common multiple (LCM) of 35, 78, and 99 is 30030.
