Frequently Asked Questions
What is LCM?▾
The Least Common Multiple of integers is the smallest positive integer divisible by all of them. E.g. LCM(12, 18) = 36.
What is LCM used for?▾
Adding fractions (finding common denominator), scheduling recurring events, and number theory problems.
How is LCM calculated?▾
LCM(a, b) = |a × b| / GCD(a, b). For more numbers, apply iteratively: LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(LCM(a, b), c).
