Ryan Mcpherson · Answer 1

List the multiples of each number

example: 2 4 6 8 10 12

3 6 9 12 15 17

then find the multiple that both numbers have. In this case it would be 6

Valeria Trevino · Answer 2

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of some numbers is the smallest number that the numbers are factors of. Like the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12, because 12 is the smallest number that 3 and 4 are both factors for.
