Least common multiple review
Review least common multiples (LCM) and try some practice problems.
What is LCM?
LCM stands for least common multiple. The least common multiple of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both of them.
Finding least common multiple
One way to find the LCM of two (or more!) numbers is to list the multiples of each number until we find the smallest multiple they have in common.

- fr it is so hard but if u look it up it make it easier bc u kno the answers and thats wht i like....(3 votes)
- This is honestly easy
(my opinion)(11 votes) - i did not have to watch the video but the people that may have to here is a little tip......... it is just skip counting intill the 2 or more numbers you have finaly have the same number the first one you find will be the least(9 votes)
- Is there another way to find the gcf?(8 votes)
- You can also use prime factorization.(2 votes)
- I got it right! YESSSSSSS!(7 votes)
