The multiplication table for 3 produces 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24, and 27, etc. etc.
The multiplication table for 9 produces9,18,27,36,45, etc.
So you can see that the lowest number which you can find in both tables that the numbers 6 and 9 divide into is18, so that is the LCM of those two numbers.
LCM means Lowest Common Multiple.

Using the prime factors of 14 and 6, the LCM is 42 (2 x 3 x 7).
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 40 is the smallest number that both 6 and 40 can divide into evenly. To find the LCM, we need to determine the prime factors of each number. The prime factorization of 6 is 2 x 3, and the prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 x 5. To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, which gives us 2^3 x 3 x 5 = 120. Therefore, the LCM of 6 and 40 is 120.
