To find the LCM you first have to express the numbers as the product of their prime factors:
52 = 2x2x13
24 = 2x2x2x3
The next step is to find the HCF. In this case, the HCF is 4. Finally, you multiply the numbers together and divide by the HCF:
52x24/4 = 312
And so the LCM of 52 and 24 is 312.
The LCM of 18 and 54 is 54.
Since 54 is a multiple of 18, it is automatically the LCM.
The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The least multiple of a number is itself.
