LCM of 12 and 18
To find out LCM (Least common multiple) of 12 and 18 ,we will follow the following methods.
Method-01:
Step-1:Find out the multiples of 12 and 18 first.
*So the multiples of 12 are 12,24,36,48.....etc.
*Multiples of 18
•18×1=18
•18×2= 36
•18×3=54
.....................
*So the multiples of 18 are 18,36, 54....etc
Step-2:LCM (Least common multiple) of 12 and 18 means that the smallest multiple that both number (12 and 18) share.
So in this step we will identify the smallest multiple that both number share or that is common in both number.
*Multiples of 12 are 12,24,36,48.....etc.
*Multiples of 18 are 18,36, 54....etc
Therefore,the smallest multiple that both number (12 and 18) share is 36.
Answer:The LCM or least common multiple of 12 and 18 is 36.
