Identify the Prime Factors of 36 and 72 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 36: 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 22 x 32
Prime Factorization of 72: 72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 23 x 32
Prime Factors of 36 and 72: 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 36 and 72 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(36,72) = 23 x 32
LCM(36,72) = 8 x 9
LCM(36,72) = 72
