What is LCM

LCM is the Lowest Common Multiple of 2 numbers. That means the lowest number that appears in both their times tables.

Some examples - what's the LCM of 2 and 3? Well, 6 is in BOTH the 2x table (2x3) and 3x table. (3x2)

Whats the LCM of 8 and 12? 24 is in both the 8x table (8x3) and the 12x table (12x2).

I'd work it out by writing down the 1st 5 numbers in both times tables (that's usually enough) and circling the numbers they both share. The lowest of the numbers you circle = the LCM.

LCM stands for Lowest Common Multiple. This consists of finding a common number multiplied a certain times for two numbers.

LCM stands for Lowest Common Multiple.

Let's say you have two numbers (n1,n2) and you want to find out what is the lowest number (LCM) which is multiple of both of our numbers (n1,n2). This smallest number is called LCM of our numbers (n1,n2).

For e.g.,

Suppose our two numbers are 10 and 15.

Method to get LCM:

Step 1: Get prime factors of your numbers.

Factors of 10 are : 2,5

Factors of 15 are: 3,5

Step 2: Multiply all the prime factors. (NOTE: Do not repeat any prime factor if it has already been considered).

LCM= 2*3*5 (NOTE: 5 was only considered once and not repeated twice)

=30

LCM is the lowest common multiple of two or more numbers. You find it by going through the multiplication table (times table) of each number. The first number that appears on the times table of each number is the LCM.

For example, the LCM of 6 and 8 is 24

Here is how I worked it out

6 x 1 = 6

6x 2 = 12

6x 3 = 18

6 x 4 = 24

6 x 5 = 30

8 x 1 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

8 x 3 = 24

LCM means LOWEST or LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE the smallest multiple that 2 or more numbers have in common. EG

intergers (numbers) 2 and 3

multiples of 2 are 2, 4,6 8,10, 12, 14, 16,18

multiples of 3 are 3.6.9.12.15.18

6, 12, 18 are common (the same) in the multiples of 2 and 3

6 is the smallest /least multiple

The abbreviation LCM stands for 'Least Common Multiple'. The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the lowest possible number that can be divisible by both numbers. It can be calculated for two or more numbers as well. There are different methods to find the LCM of a given set of numbers. One of the quickest ways to find the LCM of two numbers is to use the prime factorization of each number and then the product of the highest powers of the common prime factors will be the LCM of those numbers.

LCM stands for the LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLE.

It means the lowest number in the timetables you are looking at.

For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12 because:

4 timestable : 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24,28,32..

6 timestable : 6,12,18,24,30,36,...

You can see the lowest multiple is 12. You can probably see 24 in both too. 24 is simply a multiple of 4 and 6, not the lowest common multiple.

Hope that helps :)

LCM stands for "Least/Lowest Common Multiple". It is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers added together. We can find out the common multiples of two or more numbers using different methods, eg, listing method, Prime Factorisation Method

The LCM simply means Least Common Multiple.

Multiply the list of prime factors together to find the LCM.

...

For example, for LCM (12,30) we find:

1. Prime factorization of 12 = 2 × 2 × 3.
2. Prime factorization of 30 = 2 × 3 × 5.
3. Using all prime numbers found as often as each occurs most often we take 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60.
4. Therefore LCM (12,30) = 60.

LCM stands for least common factor thats mean we have to found the most least amount used in whole proplem

Lowest Common Multiple. It is two lowest numbers that can be divided without a remainder

Lowest Common Multiple - the smallest (lowest) number that is the same in two or more multiples

LCM stands for Lowest Common Multiple, between two or more numbers the LCM is the lowest multiple that is in both of the number's timetable.

E.g. 3 and 5,

the multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

the multiples of 5 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

the common multiples of 3 and 5 are 15 and 30.

so the lowest common multiple is 15 because 15 is lower (smaller) than 30.

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple. It's the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12 because it's the smallest number that both 4 and 6 can divide evenly into.

LCM stands for the Lowest Common Multiple. A multiple is the times tables of a number e.g multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24.... . If you want the lowest common multiple of two numbers you list the multiples of each number and then find the lowest one they have in common.
