Explanation:

To find the LCM by division method, we write the given numbers in a row separately by commas, then divide the numbers by a common prime number. We stop dividing after reaching the prime numbers. The product of common and uncommon prime factor is the LCM of given numbers.

For example

2 24,12

2 12,6

2 6,3

3 2,1

2 1,1

LCM=2×2×2×3×2

=48
