## How to Find the Least Common Multiple
### Methods
**Method 1: Using GCF**
**LCM(a, b) = (a × b) / GCF(a, b)**
**Method 2: Prime Factorization**
1. Find the prime factorization of each number
2. Take the highest power of each prime that appears
3. Multiply them together
**Method 3: Listing Multiples**
1. List multiples of each number
2. Find the smallest number that appears in both lists

हल किया गया उदाहरण
Find the LCM of 12 and 18.
- GCF(12, 18) = 6
- LCM = (12 × 18) / 6 = 216 / 6 = 36
- Verification: 36 / 12 = 3 (whole number) and 36 / 18 = 2 (whole number)
