Explanation:
One way of finding the lowest common multiple ( LCM ) is.
#•" Divide the larger number by the smaller number"#
#•" If it divides exactly then larger number is LCM"#
#•" If not then repeat with multiples of larger number"#
#rArr27÷18" or " 27/18larr" does not divide exactly"# Now we try
#27xx2=54#
#rArr54/18=3larr" divides exactly"#
#" Hence 54 is the LCM of 27 and 18"#
