You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.

Probably the most common use is in adding fractions with different denominators. The least common multiple of the denominators is the least common denominator. Each fraction can be converted to one with the common denominator, and then you can add the fractions by adding their numerators.
The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. In this case, the prime factorization of 49 is 7^2 and the prime factorization of 343 is 7^3. The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, so the LCM of 49 and 343 is 7^3, which equals 343.
Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! To find the lowest common multiple of 360 and 750, we first need to find their prime factors. Then, we can multiply the highest power of each prime factor to get the lowest common multiple. Just like painting, it's all about taking it one step at a time and enjoying the process of finding the solution!
