LCM
Find the multiples of the whole number 4.
The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32,...
he Least Common Multiple of a set of whole numbers is the smallest multiple common to all whole numbers in the set. |
To find the Least Common Multiple of two or more whole numbers, follow this procedure:
- Make a list of multiples for each whole number.
- Continue your list until at least two multiples are common to all lists.
- Identify the common multiples.
- The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest of these common multiples.
Example 4: | Find the LCM of 12 and 15. |
Common multiples of 12 and 15 are 60 and 120 | |
The least common multiple of 12 and 15 is 60. | |
Solution: | LCM = 60 |
Example 5: | Find the LCM of 18 and 24. |
Common multiples of 18 and 24 are 72 and 144 | |
The least common multiple of 18 and 24 is 72. | |
Solution: | LCM = 72 |
Summary: | The multiples of a whole number are found by taking the product of any counting number and that whole number. The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a set of whole numbers is the smallest multiple common to all whole numbers in the set. |
Find the LCM of 9 and 10.
Find the LCM of 14 and 42.
Find the LCM of 18 and 30.
Find the LCM of 8, 9 and 12.
