"Least Common Multiple" Calculator

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 24?

Answer

LCM of 6 and 24 is 24

(Twenty-four)

Finding LCM for 6 and 24 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 24 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 6 and 24 is 6, so

LCM = (6 × 24) ÷ 6

LCM = 144 ÷ 6

LCM = 24

Finding LCM for 6 and 24 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 24 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

Multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72

So the LCM for 6 and 24 is 24

Finding LCM for 6 and 24 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 6 and 24 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 6: 2, 3 (exponent form: 2¹, 3¹)

All Prime Factors of 24: 2, 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 2³, 3¹)

2³ × 3¹ = 24
