Question

LCM of $36$ and $72$ is:

• A. $36$
• B. $72$
• C. $108$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $72$

First find the factors of both the numbers.

$36=2\times 2\times 3\times 3$

$72=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3$

Hence,

$LCM(36,72)=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3$

$=8\times 9$

$=72$

Hence, the answer is $72$.
