Lowest common multiple (LCM)

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 24 and 84?

    168

    The highest common factor of 24 and 84 is 12, so LCM = (24 × 84) ÷ 12 = 168.

  2. 2. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 18 and 27?

    54

    The highest common factor of 18 and 27 is 9, so LCM = (18 × 27) ÷ 9 = 54.

  3. 3. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 20?

    60

    The highest common factor of 12 and 20 is 4, so LCM = (12 × 20) ÷ 4 = 60.

  4. 4. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 55 and 66?

    330

    The highest common factor of 55 and 66 is 11, so LCM = (55 × 66) ÷ 11 = 330.

  5. 5. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 36 and 48?

    144

    The highest common factor of 36 and 48 is 12, so LCM = (36 × 48) ÷ 12 = 144.

  6. 6. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12?

    24

    The highest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4, so LCM = (8 × 12) ÷ 4 = 24.

  7. 7. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 18?

    90

    The highest common factor of 15 and 18 is 3, so LCM = (15 × 18) ÷ 3 = 90.

  8. 8. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 55 and 77?

    385

    The highest common factor of 55 and 77 is 11, so LCM = (55 × 77) ÷ 11 = 385.

  9. 9. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 21?

    63

    The highest common factor of 9 and 21 is 3, so LCM = (9 × 21) ÷ 3 = 63.

  10. 10. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 18 and 63?

    126

    The highest common factor of 18 and 63 is 9, so LCM = (18 × 63) ÷ 9 = 126.

  11. 11. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 27 and 36?

    108

    The highest common factor of 27 and 36 is 9, so LCM = (27 × 36) ÷ 9 = 108.

  12. 12. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 22 and 55?

    110

    The highest common factor of 22 and 55 is 11, so LCM = (22 × 55) ÷ 11 = 110.
