1. A three-phase permanent magnet brushless motor comprising:
a stator having three-phase windings; and
a rotor having a permanent magnet with a plurality of poles for serving as a field magnet,
wherein said stator comprises a stator core which includes a powder core that is compacted at a high density in at least teeth thereof, and
a combination of the number of magnetic poles of said rotor with the number of slots of said stator satisfies a condition that a least common multiple of the number of slots and the number of magnetic poles is 60 or more in a region in which the number of magnetic poles is 16 or less, and the number of slots is 12 or less.
