6th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples / Lowest common multiples
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest multiple that both numbers have in common. To find the lowest common multiple, write out the multiples of each number until you find a common multiple. The smallest multiple that they share is the LCM.
For example, to find the LCM of 6 and 8:
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, ...
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, ...
We can see that 24 is the smallest multiple that 6 and 8 share, so the LCM of 6 and 8 is 24.
Here's another example. Find the LCM of 12 and 18:
Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, ...
Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, ...
We can see that 36 is the smallest common multiple of 12 and 18, so the LCM of 12 and 18 is 36.
It's important to note that this method can become more time-consuming and difficult when dealing with larger numbers, which is why methods such as prime factorization and product notation are often used for finding the LCM of larger numbers.
In this topic you are asked to find the lowest common multiple of pairs of numbers between 3 and 40.
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Lowest common multiples" from 6th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples Factors Primes. The math in this game consists of 17 questions that ask you to identify the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 2 numbers.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
