Draw the prime factorization table and put both the numbers on it.

Find common prime factors and divide both of them writing the products down.

Do this until the quotients are either 1 or any prime number.

Write down all the factors used and it will be the prime factorization.

Multiply them and you will find the LCM of the numbers.

Here,

18,21

6,7...................(/3)

Prime factorization=6*7*3

LCM=42*3=126

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
