    📖 Beginner's guideHow to Find the LCM of Two NumbersLearn how to find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers using the HCF method, with a worked example and a free LCM calculator.

    Worked Example: LCM

    Given:

    • a = 4
    • b = 6
    1. HCF(4, 6) = 2
    2. LCM = (4 × 6) ÷ 2
    3. LCM = 24 ÷ 2
    4. LCM = 12

    Answer: 12
