Lowest common multiple. It's essentially the smallest number that is a multiple of 2 or more numbers. So for example, the smallest number that is a multiple of both 3 and 13 is 39.

The lowest common multiple (LCM) is the lowest multiple shared by two or more numbers.

LCM means the Lowest Common Factor of a number
LCM is the short form for “Least Common Multiple.” The least common multiple is defined as the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common. For example: Take two integers, 2 and 3. Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
LCM is the lowest common denominator.
This is when you have 2 numbers and you need to find the lowest number that is a multiple of both of those numbers.
For example, with the numbers 35 and 42, the lowest common denominator is 7. That is because this is the lowest number that BOTH 35 and 42 can be divided by to achieve a whole number.
You may think the LCM is 1, as any number can be divided by 1 to get a whole number, but 1 doesn't count as an LCM.
This is known as the least common multiple of two or more numbers. Here is an example, some multiples of 3 are: 3,6,9,12. The multiples of 2 are: 2,4,6,8 therefore the smallest common number between 3 and 2 is 6. Let me know if this helps!

Click here to view my profile and arrange a free introduction.The LCM stand for the lowest common multiple and the smallest possible number that 2 other numbers share in their multiplication sequences, For example if we were to find the lowest common multiple of 8 and 6, we cans see that the first number that appears of their multiples is 24, where 6 x 4 = 24 and 8 x 3 = 24.
LCM is the least common multiple. In the case of two numbers, the least common multiple is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers.
LCM stands for "Least Common Multiple".
It is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by two or more given numbers without leaving any remainder.
For example, the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. This is because 12 is the smallest number that is divisible by both 3 and 4 without leaving a remainder.

The LCM of two numbers is their lowest common multiple. It is the lowest number than can be divided by these two numbers. For example, the lowest common multiple of 2 and 8, is 8.

It stands for ‘Lowest Common Multiple’. It means, what is the lowest multiple that is common to 2 or more numbers. For example, the LCM of 6 and 8 is 24.

LCM stands for 'Lowest Common Multiple'. A multiple of a number is the answer when you multiply that number by another number. A common multiple is a multiple that is the same for different numbers. For example 4 and 6 have the some same multiples such as 12, 24, 36 etc. The lowest multiple is just the smallest multiple shared by the numbers, or the lowest number they both fit into exactly. The LCM for 4 and 6 is 12. The LCM for 5 and 10 is 10. When we talk about the multiples of numbers, the numbers must be integers or whole numbers, not fractions or decimals.
