LCM of Pairs and Sets

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a practice tool for students to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of various pairs and triplets of numbers. It presents a list of number sets aligned on the left with arrows pointing to the right, where students are expected to write the LCM of each set. The format is straightforward, focusing solely on the calculation without additional instructional support or visual aids, implying that students should be familiar with the concept and methods for finding the LCM. The sheet is designed to be filled out by hand, with ample space for students to write their answers next to each problem.

The worksheet aims to reinforce the understanding and application of the Least Common Multiple in arithmetic. It encourages students to employ strategies such as prime factorization, listing multiples, or other efficient methods they may have learned to find the LCM. The tasks range from simpler pairs to more complex triplets of numbers, providing a graded practice that can help students build confidence as they progress through the worksheet. Ultimately, it helps solidify foundational math skills that are important for more advanced topics, such as working with fractions, ratios, and algebraic expressions.
