Breaking the numbers down into prime factors
8 = 2*2*2
36 = 4*9 = 2*2*3*3
We take the maximum number of times it appears in the terms
2 appears 3 times in the first terms 2 and times in the second term so we take it 3 times
2*2*2
3 appears 0 times in the first terms and 2 times in the second term so we take it 2 times
2*2*2*3*3
This is the least common multiple
72
