Answer: LCM of 54 and 18 is 54

(Fifty-four)

Finding LCM for 54 and 18 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 54 and 18 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 54 and 18 is 18, so

LCM = (54 × 18) ÷ 18

LCM = 972 ÷ 18

LCM = 54

Finding LCM for 54 and 18 by Listing Multiples
