The detailed description of the worksheet
Introduction
This worksheet provides interactive practice for finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more integers. It helps learners build strong number sense and understand multiples through structured, self-correcting problems.
What Is LCM
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the given numbers.
For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12, because 12 is the smallest number divisible by both 4 and 6.

- Number Count: Choose 2, 3, 4, or 5 integers per problem.
- Difficulty Levels: Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Finding LCM Using Prime Factorization
In this method, each number is expressed as a product of its prime factors. The LCM is obtained by taking all prime factors with their highest powers.
Example: Find LCM of 12 and 18
- 12 = 2² × 3
- 18 = 2 × 3²
Take highest powers: 2² and 3²
LCM = 2² × 3² = 4 × 9 = 36
Finding LCM Using Division Method
The division method is a systematic way to find the LCM by dividing the numbers by common prime factors.
Example: Find LCM of 8, 12, and 18
- Divide by 2 → 4, 6, 9
- Divide by 2 → 2, 3, 9
- Divide by 2 → 1, 3, 9
- Divide by 3 → 1, 1, 3
- Divide by 3 → 1, 1, 1
Multiply all divisors: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 72
How to Work Through the Problems
For each problem, find the LCM of the given integers using any method you prefer.
Enter the final answer directly into the input box. No intermediate steps are required.
