3 <p>LCM of any two numbers is the least common multiple of two numbers. In our daily life, LCM is used for scheduling events, and distributing any items among others. In this topic, we will learn more about LCM of 10 and 18.</p>

4 <h2>What is the LCM of 10 and 18</h2>

5 <p>The<a>common multiples</a>\ of 10 and 18 is 90. Here, we will learn about the LCM of 2<a>numbers</a>. Children learn about LCM at younger ages. Here, we will discuss the methods used for finding out LCM. </p>

6 <h2>How to find the LCM of 10 and 18?</h2>

7 <p>Out of many methods,<a>prime factorization</a>method is widely used for its easy approach. Here, we will learn about other methods as well. A few commonly used methods are as follows - </p>

8 <ol><li>Listing Of Multiples</li>

9 <li>Prime Factorization</li>

10 <li>Division Method </li>

11 </ol><h2>LCM of 10 and 18 Using Listing the Multiplies</h2>

12 <p>Listing<a>multiples</a>can be a tedious method for finding the LCM. Here, the listing of multiples for all these 2 numbers is noted - </p>

13 <ul><li>Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80,90</li>

14 <li>Multiples of 18:18, 36, 54, 72, 90</li>

15 </ul><p>Then we can see that out of 10 and 18, 90 is the smallest common number that is present in them. So we see that 90 is the LCM of 10 and 18. </p>

25 <p>In this method, we will be dividing the given numbers with the common prime factors until all numbers are reduced to 1. Let us look at this step by step and make it easy for the children to learn it.</p>

24 <p>In this method, we will be dividing the given numbers with the common prime factors until all numbers are reduced to 1. Let us look at this step by step and make it easy for the children to learn it.</p>

26 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Arrange the number in a<a>sequence</a>, divisors, and the numbers are on the left and right sides respectively.</p>

25 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Arrange the number in a<a>sequence</a>, divisors, and the numbers are on the left and right sides respectively.</p>

27 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>For finding the<a>divisor</a>, it is always the smallest common prime factor. Here, the smallest common prime factor is 2. Dividing 10 and 18 by 2. The result is 5 and 9. </p>

26 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>For finding the<a>divisor</a>, it is always the smallest common prime factor. Here, the smallest common prime factor is 2. Dividing 10 and 18 by 2. The result is 5 and 9. </p>

28 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>As 9 is divisible by 3, the divisor is 3. Dividing 5 and 9 by 3. Now the result is 5 and 3.</p>

27 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>As 9 is divisible by 3, the divisor is 3. Dividing 5 and 9 by 3. Now the result is 5 and 3.</p>

29 <p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Continue dividing the numbers with the smallest<a>prime number</a>until all numbers are reduced to 1.</p>

28 <p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Continue dividing the numbers with the smallest<a>prime number</a>until all numbers are reduced to 1.</p>

30 <p>The divisors are 2, 3, 3, 5. LCM of 10 and 18 is the product of divisors.</p>

29 <p>The divisors are 2, 3, 3, 5. LCM of 10 and 18 is the product of divisors.</p>

31 <p>Hence, the LCM of (10 and 18) = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90 </p>

30 <p>Hence, the LCM of (10 and 18) = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90 </p>
