What is the least common multiple for these math problems?
Math Help
I’m trying to help my son do his math homework. Can someone give me the anwers to these number pairs: 3, 4 & 2, 6? What is the least common denominator?

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.
