What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 27 and 18?
Answer: LCM of 27 and 18 is 54
(Fifty-four)
Finding LCM for 27 and 18 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 27 and 18 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 27 and 18 is 9, so
LCM = (27 × 18) ÷ 9
LCM = 486 ÷ 9
LCM = 54
Finding LCM for 27 and 18 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 27 and 18 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 27: 27, 54, 81, 108
Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
So the LCM for 27 and 18 is 54
Finding LCM for 27 and 18 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 27 and 18 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 27: 3, 3, 3 (exponent form: 33)
All Prime Factors of 18: 2, 3, 3 (exponent form: 21, 32)
33 × 21 = 54
