Multiplying the highest prime factors it is: 72
4, 8, 12, 16, 2010, 20The LCM is 20.
The lowest common multiple is 144. There's no such thing as the highest commonmultiple. If anybody ever brings you a number and tells you it's the highest commonmultiple of 36 and 48, just add 144 to his number, and show him that you've createda common multiple that's even greater than his.By the way, if you were actually asking for the highest common factor of 36 and 48,then that would be 12 .
It's a method that lets you quickly find both the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of two numbers. I am not sure how well it works for more than two numbers at a time. If you search online for "ladder method", you'll quickly find several videos that show you how to do it.
From the question's wording, this is one for you to do. The easiest way is to use exhaustive division, dividing by the largest number that will give a "complete" (no remainder) division, then working down to dividing by 2, then multiplying all the numbers you used to divide by (*not* the actual answers to each division). For a start, 180 and 288 can be divided by *at least* 6.

LCM means least common multiple. We need two or more numbers to have a common multiple. So there is not LCM of 12.
The least common multiple of 75 and 105 is 525.
there can be no lvm (Logical Volume Manager) in 2529 which is a number! If you mean LCM (Least Common Multiple) it is not possible to give a sensible answer. The least common multiple refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
The least common multiple of 4 & 7???? so are you talking about the least common denominator? if so: I usually figure out the least common multiple of 2 numbers by just multiplying the two numbers together (IE. 7x11=77) but in your case it would be 4x7 so your answer is 28 Hope that helped!!!! Remember to show your work!!!
Write out the multiples. 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42 14,28,42 The LCM is 42.

3 x 4 x 5 = 60, the LCM
From a least common multiple, you can show that every number below it is not a common multiple of the two numbers. However, there are an infinite number of multiples above the LCM that the two share, so you cannot label any of them as the "greatest common multiple." Easier way to think of it would be to take a supposed GCM and double it. The resulting number is now the GCM. Double it again, and you get a new GCM. This continues onto infinity.

You might mean the Least Common Multiple, or LCM. First, is one of the numbers a multiple of the other? Yes, 33 is a multiple of 11. Your answer is 33, because 11 can be multiplied by 3 to make 33. 33 times 1 is 33. The least common multiple is the smallest number that is a multiple of both given numbers. Let's use a whole different example. What is the Least Common Multiple of 12 and 20? Show the multiples of 12 in one row: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144 ... The multiples of 20 are: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 ... What is the smallest number that is in both lists? 60 is in both lists. 60 is the LCM of 12 and 20. Very few teachers show students this technique. -MathTeacherGuy
