Least Common Multiple(LCM) is a method to find the smallest common multiple between any two or more numbers. LCM denotes the least common factor or multiple of any two or more given integers.
Solution
We have to determine the LCM of 12 and 48
Let us determine by taking the multiples of the two given numbers
The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 120, ………….
The multiples of 48 are 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, 384, 432, 480………..
The least common multipleof 12 and 48 is 48.
LCM of 12 and 48 = 48
