LCM Calculator: Find the Least Common Multiple Instantly

What is the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is evenly divisible by all the numbers in your set. It’s useful in math when you need to combine fractions or find common denominators.

For example, the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20 because it’s the smallest number both 4 and 5 divide into evenly.

Common Questions about the LCM

1. How do you find the LCM?
The LCM is found by identifying the highest powers of all prime factors common to the numbers and multiplying them together. This calculator does all the work for you, so you can focus on the result.

2. What’s the difference between LCM and GCD?
The LCM is the smallest number that all the given numbers divide into. The GCD (Greatest Common Divisor), on the other hand, is the largest number that divides all the numbers evenly. This tool focuses on finding the LCM.
