One night he came in and read the words: Find the L.C.M.
From A Dominie in Doubt by Neill, Alexander Sutherland
Least Common Multiple, or L.C.M., of two numbers, is the least number of which they are both factors.
From Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 5 "Arculf" to "Armour, Philip" by Various
It is clear, from comparison with the last paragraph, that the product of the G.C.D. and the L.C.M. of two numbers is equal to the product of the numbers themselves.
From Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 5 "Arculf" to "Armour, Philip" by Various
This gives a rule for finding the L.C.M. of two numbers.
From Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Slice 5 "Arculf" to "Armour, Philip" by Various
Thus, since 144 = 24�32, and 756 = 22�33�7, the L.C.M. of 144 and 756 is 24�33�7.
