LCM stands for Least Common Multiple, and is as its name suggests, the smallest factor, aside from 0 and 1, of multiple numbers. (LCM of 6 and 8 is 24, as factors of 6 are : 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, etc. Factors of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. As 24 is the smallest number in these sequences, it is the Least Common Multiple, or LCM.)
