You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.

Probably the most common use is in adding fractions with different denominators. The least common multiple of the denominators is the least common denominator. Each fraction can be converted to one with the common denominator, and then you can add the fractions by adding their numerators.
The least common multiple of the integers from 2 to 1000 is the product of all those numbers, or 1000!. Since the LCM of any consecutive integers is their product, the LCM of all integers between 2 and 1000 must by 2*3*4*5*...*998*999*1000.
There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
The least common multiple (LCM) of a set of numbers is the smallest number into which each number in the set will divide evenly. There is no LCM for less than two numbers.
That's the least common multiple, or LCM.

If the set of numbers is 6, 7 and 3, the LCM is 42.
The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder.
True. I think each and all mean the same thing in this context.

The least common multiple is 180.There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple".

There is only one number in the question.
The least number which can be divisible by each of the numbers is called least common multiple (LCM). As we know, 24=23x3 180=22x32x5 hence LCM of 24 and 180 is 23x32x5 = 360
