least common multiple
the least common multiple, or LCM
least common multiple, or LCM.
Least common multiple is abbreviated as LCM.
LCM in math means least common multiple. So, for example, in the case of 2 and 18, the least common multiple is 18 because that is the lowest valued number that both 2 and 18 share. An another example is the case of 5 and 12. The least common multiple will be 5 times 12, because 5 and 12 do not have any common factors.
The least common multipleof 7 and 9 is 63.
To find a common multiple - you need to have something to compare it to ! For example, the least common multiple of 2 & 3 is 6 !
To find the least common multiple, you need two terms. For example, the least common multiple of 120 and 5 would be 600 and the least common multiple of 120 and 16 would be 240. With one term, there is no least common multiple.
Since 63 is a multiple of 9, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
The least common multiple of 3,4, and 60 is the same as the least common multiple of 12 and 60. This is because the least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. The answer to this problem is 60.
The least common multiple of 4 and 9 is 36.
That's known as the least common multiple, or LCM.
Since 108 is a multiple of 4, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
Since 174 is a multiple of 29, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
Since 36 is a multiple of 9, it has to be the LCM of the problem.
Since 63 is a multiple of 3, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
Since 147 is a multiple of 7, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
