You might list the prime factors for each number, then gather all the prime factors that appear in one or more of the numbers. Example: LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

2 = 2

3 = 3

4 = 2x2

5 = 5

6 = 2x3

The factor 2 has to be included twice (since it appears twice as a factor in 4), so the LCM is 2x2x3x5 = 60.
