Learning Goal: I will be able to find the (LCM) least common multiple of a group of numbers.
Topic: Least Common Multiples (LCM)
Least Common Multiple (LCM)
• The least common multiple is the smallest number that is common between two lists of multiples.
Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 4
Method 1: use a number line
Use a number line to skip count by 3 and 4.
0 2 4 6 8 10 12
The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 4 is 12.
Method 2: Use a list.Example 1:
Find the LCM of 12 and 18The multiples of 12:
•12 x 1 = 12
•12 x 2 =24
•12 x 3 = 36
•12 x 4 = 48
•12 x 5 =60
The multiples of 18:
•18 x 1 = 18
•18 x 2 = 36
•18 x 3 = 54
•18 x 4 = 72
•18 x 5 = 90
12, 24, 36, 48, 60
18, 36, 54, 72, 90
The first number you see in both lists is 36.
The least common multiple of 12 and 18 is 36.
Example 2: Find the LCM of 9 and 10
9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80If you don’t see a common multiple, make each list go further.
81, 90, 99
90, 100, 110
The LCM of 9 and 10 is 90
Example 3:Find the LCM of 4 and 12
4, 8, 12, 16
12, 24, 36Answer: 12
Example 4:Find the LCM of 5 and 8
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
35, 40
Answer: 40
Method 3: Use prime factorization.
Find the least common multiple (LCM).
6 and 20
6 = 2 • 320 = 2 • 2 • 5
Write the prime factorization of each number.
Line up the common factors. 2 • 3 • 2 • 5
2 • 3 • 2 • 5 = 60
To find the LCM, multiply one number from each column.
LCM: 60

5. Two students in Mrs. Albring’s preschool class are
stacking blocks, one on top of the other. Reece’s
blocks are 4 cm high and Maddy’s blocks are 9 cm
high. How tall will their stacks be when they are the
same height for the first time?
36 cm
