To calculate the Lowest Common Multiple of 36 and 84, you need to do the following.
1. Calculation of the GCD of 36 and 84
The possible GCD of 36 and 64 is less than 84 - 36 = 48.
Now, you know that the possible GCD is less than 48, let's get finding the GCD.
So, the factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36
The factors of 84 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28...
Out of these all, the Greatest Common Divisor appearing between both the numbers' factors is 12.
2. Multiple 36 by 84 and find the product
36 x 84 = 3024
3. Divide the found product by the GCD
3024 / 12 = 252
The lowest common multiple of 36 and 84 is 252.
Formula: LCM (X and Y) = (X multiplied by Y) / GCD of X and Y
