<p>The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that when we divide by two or more numbers at a time, all three or more numbers divide into it. LCM also helps in math problems and everyday things like event planning or buying supplies. We will find the LCM of 22 and 33 together and what that really means.</p>
