3 <p>The Least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is divisible by the numbers 18 and 27. LCM helps to solve problems with fractions and scenarios like scheduling or aligning repeating cycles of events.</p>

4 <h2>What is the LCM of 18 and 27?</h2>

5 <h2>How to find the LCM of 18 and 27 ?</h2>

6 <p>There are various methods to find the LCM, Listing method,<a>prime factorization</a>method and<a>division</a>method are explained below; </p>

7 <h3>LCM of 18 and 27 using the Listing multiples method</h3>

8 <p>To ascertain the LCM, list the multiples of the<a>integers</a>until a<a>common multiple</a>is found. </p>

9 <p><strong>Steps 1:</strong>Writedown the multiples of each number: </p>

10 <p>Multiples of 18 = 18,36,54,...</p>

11 <p>Multiples of 27 = 27,54,...</p>

12 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Ascertain the smallest multiple from the listed multiples of 18 and 27. </p>

13 <p>The LCM (Least common multiple) of 18 and 27 is 54. i.e., 54 is divisible by 18 and 27 with no reminder. </p>
