LCM CAKE METHOD

The least common multiple (LCM) of two positive whole numbers is the smallest number that is divisible by these numbers. The least common multiple of a set of numbers can be found by using the upside-down cake method (or the ladder method).

In this method, we apply the same algorithm as GCF. To calculate LCM, we multiply all prime numbers on the left and the leftovers on the right.

WHAT IS LCM CAKE (LADDER) METHOD CALCULATOR?

LCM cake (ladder) method calculator,

• Draws the upside-down cake associated with the given numbers,
• Graphically illustrates the result,
• Computes the LCM and
• Calculates the smallest three multiples of the entered numbers.

HOW TO USE LCM CAKE (LADDER) METHOD CALCULATOR?

You can use LCM cake (ladder) method calculator in two ways.

• USER INPUTS

  

  You can enter two positive whole numbers to the input boxes and click on the "CALCULATE" button. The result and explanations appaer below the calculator

• RANDOM INPUTS

  

  You can click on the DIE ICON next to the input boxes. If you use this property, two random numbers are generated and entered to the calculator, automatically. You can see the result and explanations below the calculator. You can create your own examples and practice using this property.
