LCM means least common multiple. It's the popular math topic to learn in elementary school course and number theory college course.

To learn about LCM, you need to factor out each term. Then, select the prime factor with the maximum exponent in either the factors of the first or another. In simplest form:

LCM = [a,b] = p1max(a,b)p2max(a,b).....pnmax(a,b) where pi are the prime factors of a and b.

"max(a,b) of the p's" means that you select the prime factor with the largest exponent out of the whole prime factors for each term you have factored out.
