Given Numbers: 6, 9
Identify the Prime Factors of 6 and 9 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 6: 6 = 2 x 3 = 21 x 31
Prime Factorization of 9: 9 = 3 x 3 = 32
Prime Factors of 6 and 9 (collectively): 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 6 and 9 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(6, 9) = 21 x 32
LCM(6, 9) = 2 x 9
LCM(6, 9) = 18
