What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 38?

Answer: LCM of 18 and 38 is 342

(Three hundred forty-two)

Finding LCM for 18 and 38 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 38 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 18 and 38 is 2, so

LCM = (18 × 38) ÷ 2

LCM = 684 ÷ 2

LCM = 342
