You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
The least common multiples of the number 6 and 9 is 3.
You need at least two numbers to compare multiples.
90 is the least common multiple of 9 and 10
lcm(4, 9) = 36 → the two least common multiples (ie the first two common multiples) of 4 and 9 are 36 and 72.
The common multiples of 9 and 16 are 144, 288, 432 and so on.
The Least Common Multiple of 9 and 15 is 45.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 9 24 is 72.
