What is LCM

Lcm is least common factor

So basically u find out the coomon factors for the given nos

Lowest Common Multiple

The Least, or Lowest Common Multiple, is the smallest number, given two or more inputs, that will divide by all the inputs (separately); A method to find it is

• List the multiples of each number until at least one of the multiples appears on all lists
• Find the smallest number that is on all of the lists
• This number is the LCM

For example, 6,7,21;

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 56

21, 42, 63

= 42

LCM is the smallest number which is divisible by the given numbers.

Suppose we are finding the LCM of 2 & 3, then 6 will be the LCM of 2 & 3 as 6 is the smallest number which is divisible by both the numbers.

LCM or Lowest Common Multiple of a set of numbers is the least number that is exactly divisible by the given set of numbers. Eg: to find LCM of 3,5:

writing down the first few multiples of 3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,....

writing down the first few multiples of 5: 5,10,15,20,25,.....

From the list, it is evident that the first common multiple popping u is 15. Therefore the LCM for 3 & 5 is 15.

Least common factor. It a number which must be smallest common factor to all among the set of numbers

The Least Common Multiple ( LCM ) is also referred to as the Lowest Common Multiple ( LCM ) and Least Common Divisor ( LCD) . For two integers a and b, denoted LCM(a,b), the LCM is the smallest positive integer that is evenly divisible by both a and b. For example, LCM(2,3) = 6

lowest common multiple . for example 12 is a multiple of 6,4,3,2 but its lowest multiple would be 2

The smallest positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

For example the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

Multiples of 3: 3,6,9,12,15,18....

Multiples of 5: 5,10,15,20,25...

So here you can see that the lowest number in common is 15.

LMC stands for least common multiple.

The LMC between a number X and a number Y would be the lowest number that is both present in the timetable of X and timetable of Y.

For example:

Let X=4

Let Y=6

Timetable of 4

4×0=0

4×1=4

4×2=8

4×3=12 <==

4×4=16

4×5=20

4×6=24 <==

4×7=28

4×8=32

4×9=36 <==

4×10=40

4×11=44

4×12=48 <==

4×13=52

4×14=56

4×15=60 <==

Timetable of 6

6×0=0

6×1=6

6×2=12 <==

6×3=18

6×4=24 <==

6×5=30

6×6=36 <==

6×7=42

6×8=48 <==

6×9=54

6×10=60 <==

As it is visible from the timetables:

12,24,36,48 and 60 are all common multiples of 4 and 6.

Now to find the LCM, as the name itself says, we pick the lowest number that is the multiple of both 4 and 6.

12 is the LCM of 4 and 6.

Lowest Common Multiple

The LCM is 'lowest common multiple' of two or more numbers. It is the first multiple of each number which is common to both... eg if you write out the tables of two numbers 4 & 5.... you would write 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28.... 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30.... you can see that the first number to appear in both lists is '20', so this is the LCM of 4 & 5!

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple. Multiple means writing the table of that number. So if u need to find the LCM of 2 numbers, write their tables and stop when you get a common answer. That will be the LCM because least means the shortest number that is common in both the numbers

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple. It is a number which must be smallest common factor to all among the set of numbers
