What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36 and 24?

Answer

LCM of 36 and 24 is

72

First common multiples: 72, 144, 216, …

72 is divisible by both: 72 ÷ 36 = 2, 72 ÷ 24 = 3 — and 2 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/36 by 2 and of y/24 by 3.

36 = 2² × 3²

24 = 2³ × 3

Prime	36	24	Highest power
2	2²	2³	2³
3	3²	3	3²

LCM = 2³ × 3² = 72
