Eg- LCM of 72 and 96 is 288, where 72 and 96 are less than 288.</li><li>LCM is associative which means LCM(72, 96) = LCM(96, 72).</li><li>LCM is commutative which means LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(LCM(a, b), c) = LCM(a, LCM(b, c)).</li><li>LCM is distributive, which means LCM(ab, bc, ad) = d * LCM(x, y, z).</li><li>The LCM of two or more prime numbers is their product.</li> examples: <div class="example-box">Franky and Joy are running on a circular track. They start at the same time. They take 72 and 96 minutes respectively to go round once. Find at what time they will run together?<p>Franky and Joy are running on a circular track. They take 72 and 96 minutes respectively to go round once. We need to find out at what time (minimum) they will run together again. For this we need to find the LCM of 72 and 96.</br>So, LCM of 72 and 96 is 288.</p></div><div class="example-box">A shopkeeper sells candies in packet of 72 and chocolates in packet of 96. What is the least number of candies and chocolates Annie should buy so that there will be one candy for each chocolate?<p>The least number of candies and chocolates Annie should buy so that there will be one candy for each chocolate we need to find the lcm of 72 and 96.</br>So, LCM of 72 and 96 is 288.</p></div><div class="example-box">Both the cricket team and the rugby team had games, today. The cricket team plays every 72 days and the basketball team plays every 96 days. When will both teams have games on the same day again?<p>Given that the cricket team plays every 72 days and the basketball team plays every 96 days, so for finding the next time when both teams will play again we need to find the LCM of 72 and 96.</br>So, LCM of 72 and 96 is 288.</p></div><div class="example-box">Sammy’s company prints 72 textbooks at a time.
