What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 10 and 18?

Answer

LCM of 10 and 18 is
90

First common multiples: 90, 180, 270, …

90 is divisible by both: 90 ÷ 10 = 9, 90 ÷ 18 = 5 — and 9 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/10 by 9 and of y/18 by 5.

10 = 2 × 5

18 = 2 × 32
