6.
To find the least common multiple, factor each number to its prime factors and then multiply all the factors from the first number with any factors in the second number that are not repeated from the first number. The prime factors of 6 are 3 and 2. 18 factored to its primes is 2 x 3 x 3. So multiply 3 and 2 from the first number (6) and ignore the factors of 18 since they repeat the factors of 6. Take the product 6, as the LCM.
