Question: what is the least common multiple lcm of 18 and 6?
Answer: Since the question is asking for the least common multiple, you factor out the 6 in 18 and 6. This gives you 631 as the LCM because you have factored out 6 and this is the GCF because there are no more common factors between 3 and 1. Since 631 equals 18, 18 is the LCM.
