<p>Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest multiple that can be divided evenly by two or more numbers. There are different methods to calculate LCM like the listing method,<a>prime factorization</a>, and<a>division</a>. For prime factorization, break each number into primes and multiply the highest<a>powers</a>of all primes present. For example, let’s find the LCM of 4 and 6: </p>
