What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 81?

Answer: LCM of 12 and 81 is 324

(Three hundred twenty-four)

Finding LCM for 12 and 81 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 81 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 12 and 81 is 3, so

LCM = (12 × 81) ÷ 3

LCM = 972 ÷ 3

LCM = 324
