  1. Least Common Multiples(LCM) M6N1c

  2. Least Common Multiple(LCM) • Smallest number that is a multiple of 2 or more numbers

  3. Least Common Multiple Ladder Method

  4. EXAMPLE Find the LCM of 6 and 10 STEP 1: Find the smallest prime number that goes into all of the given numbers. Continue until you have at least one prime number. STEP 2: Multiply all of the numbers on the side and on the bottom row. 2 ∙ 3 ∙ 5 = 30 2 6 10 3 5 LCM = 30

  5. EXAMPLE Find the LCM of 6 and 12 2 6 12 3 6 3 1 2 2 ∙ 3 ∙ 1 ∙ 2 = 12 LCM = 12

  6. EXAMPLE Find the LCM of 3 and 7 3 7 *Since both of the numbers are prime, simply multiply them together. 3 ∙ 7 = 21 LCM = 21

  7. Find the LCM of 3, 9, and 12 3 9 12 3 4 3 ∙ 3 ∙ 4 = 36 YOUR TURN LCM = 36

  8. Find the LCM of 3, 7, and 10 7 10 7 ∙ 10 = 70 LCM = 70 YOUR TURN

  9. Find the LCM of 2 and 8 2 2 8 1 4 2 ∙ 1 ∙ 4 = 8 LCM = 8 YOUR TURN

  10. Least Common Multiple(LCM) LISTING METHOD

  11. EXAMPLE Find the LCM of 8 and 12 Step 1: List the multiples of each number Step 2: Circle the smallest number that is in all the lists. Step 3: Write the answer 8, 16, 24, 32 12, 24 LCM = 24

  12. EXAMPLE Find the LCM of 3, 5, and 6 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, LCM = 30

  13. Find the LCM of 3 and 5 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 5, 10, 15 YOUR TURN

  14. Find the LCM of 6, and 9 6, 12, 18 9, 18 YOUR TURN
