"Least Common Multiple" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 36?
(Thirty-six)
Finding LCM for 18 and 36 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 36 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 18 and 36 is 18, so
LCM = (18 × 36) ÷ 18
LCM = 648 ÷ 18
LCM = 36
