Answer:
What is the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?
In mathematics, the least common multiple, also known as the lowest common multiple of two (or more) integers a and b, is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both. It is commonly denoted as LCM(a, b).
Brute Force Method
There are multiple ways to find a least common multiple. The most basic is simply using a "brute force" method that lists out each integer's multiples.
EX: Find LCM(18, 26)
18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, 198, 216, 234
26: 52, 78, 104, 130, 156, 182, 208, 234
As can be seen, this method can be fairly tedious, and is far from ideal.
