LCM Formula Syntax

=LCM(12, 18)

Example Use Case

Finding the least common multiple of numbers for scheduling or alignment

Understanding the LCM Formula

The LCM function in Excel calculates the least common multiple of two or more integers—the smallest number evenly divisible by all inputs. It’s a practical tool for syncing cycles, like scheduling tasks or aligning repeating events.

For LCM(12, 18), you get 36, the smallest number both divide into. It handles multiple arguments, making it great for finding common denominators or planning intervals where things need to line up.

Why Use LCM?

LCM solves alignment problems—like when two machines with different cycles next sync or when adjusting units to a shared base. It’s a time-saver in logistics, math, or time management, ensuring minimal overlap.

Example with Sample Data

NumbersFormulaResult
12, 18=LCM(12, 18)36
5, 7=LCM(5, 7)35
3, 4, 6=LCM(3, 4, 6)12

LCM aligns multiples: 12 and 18 meet at 36, 3, 4, 6 at 12. It’s a sync-up specialist.
