The multiple
Yes, if that number is a multiple of the other one.
need more than one number an LCM..
By comparing its multiples to the multiples of another number.
All numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. On the list of common multiples, one number is the smallest. This is the least common multiple.
By making a table of multiples and finding when the multiples for every number is the same.
12
To find the LCM of a number in this case 6 and 9 you find all of their multiples that they share in this caseThe multiples of 6 are 2,3,6
There can only be one LCM per set of numbers. Other common multiples will be multiples of the LCM. The LCM of 2840 and 144 is 51120. Other multiples include 102240 and 153360. The LCM of 28, 40 and 144 is 5040. Other multiples include 10080 and 15120.

You can't find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of only one number. You need at least two numbers to find the LCM.
You can't find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of only one number. You need at least two numbers to find the LCM.
The LCM is 72. Other common multiples include 144 and 216.
