The Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.) of two numbers is the lowest number that can be divided both. It can be used to find the lowest common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions. Don't let the least in the name fool you-the LCM is no smaller than the largest of the numbers.he lowest common multiple is 12, therefore it is the Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.) of 4 and 6. You can also use the prime factorization method to find the Least Common Multiple: EXAMPLE: Find the Least Common Multiple (L.C.M.) of 10 and 12: Count the maximum number of times each factor appears in either quantity.
