<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Write down the multiples of each number</p>
10
-
<p> - Multiples of 3 = 3,6,9,12,18 …</p>
11
-
<p> - Multiples of 6 = 6, 12,18,24,…</p>
12
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Ascertain the smallest multiple from the listed multiples</p>
13
-
<p>- The smallest<a>common multiple</a>is 6.</p>
14
-
<p>Thus, LCM(3, 6) = 6.</p>

<h2>Common Mistakes and how to avoid them in LCM of 3 and 6</h2>
33
-
<p>Listed below are a few commonly made mistakes when we try to find the LCM of 3 and 6 </p>
34
-
<h3>Problem 1</h3>
35
-
<p>Helicopter A and Helicopter B take trips every 3 hours and 6 hours to distribute food at the same time. In how long will they land together?</p>
36
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
37
-
<p>The LCM of 3 and 6 = 6 </p>
38
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
39
-
<p>The smallest common multiple is ascertained between the numbers to ascertain the next arrival of the helicopters in 6 hours. LCM expresses the smallest common time interval between the given digits. </p>
40
-
<p>Well explained 👍</p>
41
-
<h3>Problem 2</h3>
42
-
<p>LCM of (3,x) is 6. Find x.</p>
43
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
44
-
<p>The LCM of x and 3 is 6, which means that the possible value of x is a divisor of 6. The divisors of 6 are 1,2,3,6. </p>
45
-
<p>Now we check for each of the factors; </p>
46
-
<p>LCM (3,1) = 3 </p>
47
-
<p>LCM (3,2) =6 </p>
48
-
<p>LCM (3,3) = 3</p>
49
-
<p>LCM (3,6) = 6 </p>
50
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
51
-
<p>The value of x can be either 2 or 6 as the LCM of 6 can be obtained using both. </p>
52
-
<p>Well explained 👍</p>
53
-
<h3>Problem 3</h3>
54
-
<p>Is 30 a common multiple of 3 and 6. Verify.</p>
55
-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
56
-
<p>To check if 30 is a common multiple of 3 and 6, we check the divisibility of the numbers; </p>
57
-
<p>30/3 = 10 </p>
58
-
<p>30/6 = 5 </p>
59
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
60
-
<p> 30 is a common multiple of both 3 and 6 as there are no remainders left behind on division. </p>
61
-
<p>Well explained 👍</p>

<h2>Important glossaries for the LCM of 3 and 6</h2>
85
-
<ul><li><strong>Multiple -</strong>It is a product of a number and any natural integer. So for 6, 6,12,18,..etc are the multiples. </li>
86
-
</ul><ul><li><strong>Prime Factor -</strong>It is a prime number that one gets after factorization of any given number. Like for 6 - 2,3, and 6 are prime factors as they can be divided by 1 or the number itself.</li>
87
-
</ul><ul><li><strong>Prime Factorization -</strong>It is a process of dividing the number into prime factors.</li>
88
-
</ul><ul><li><strong>Co-prime numbers -</strong>These are the positive integers where both the numbers can be divided only by 1. </li>
89
-
</ul><ul><li><strong>Fraction -</strong>It is expressed as part of a whole, in which the numerator is divided by the denominator, so for a fraction like 3/6- 3 is the numerator and 6 is the denominator. Proper fraction is where numerator is always lesser than denominator.</li>
