LCM for 18 and 180
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 180?
(One hundred eighty)
Finding LCM for 18 and 180 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 180 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 18 and 180 is 18, so
LCM = (18 × 180) ÷ 18
LCM = 3240 ÷ 18
LCM = 180
