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.

  1. GCF(12, 18) = 6
  2. LCM = (12 × 18) / 6 = 216 / 6 = 36
  3. Verification: 36 / 12 = 3 (whole number) and 36 / 18 = 2 (whole number)
