LCM Using Prime Factors

We can use prime factors to help us find the lowest common multiple of two numbers.

1) Find prime factors of 18 and 24

2) Work out the multiplication

To find the LCM, write down all the prime factors of 18 as a multiplication, then multiply by any prime factors of 24 that have not yet been included.

3) Perform calculation

We can see that we still must multiply by two lots of 2.
