    The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers
    3, 4, 2, 6
    is
    12
    because 12 is the smallest number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

    The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 3, 4, 2, 6 would have to be 12. It would be because 12 is the smallest number that all of the numbers divide evenly into. A little more help: Two integers, “a” and “b” is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both a and b. Since it is a multiple, it can be divided by a and b without a remainder.
    Example~ Multiples of 4 are:

    4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, …
    (add 4 to each to get the next).

    Multiples of 6 are:

    6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, …
    (add 6 to each to get the next).

    Common multiples of 4 and 6 are numbers that these two lists share in common:

    12, 24, 36, 48, ….
    The smallest common multiple of 4 and 6 is therefore 12.
