What is the least common multiple of 36 and 60?

Answer 1

The least common multiple (LCM) is often also called the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple. Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the smallest positive integer which is a multiple of two or more numbers.

The least common multiple of 36 and 60 is 180.

Answer 2

60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5; 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Common factors are 2 and 3 so HCF = 6.

LCM = Product/HCF = 60 x 36/6 = 360
