Step 1
We have to find the LCM of 77 and 18.
Step 2
The prime factorization of 77 is
77=7×11
The prime factorization of 18 is
18=2×3×3
Now we multiply each prime factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either sets to find the LCM.
(2 occurs 1 time, 3 occurs 2 times, 7 occurs 1 time and 11 occurs 1 time)
LCM=2×3×3×7×11=1386
Step 3
LCM(77, 18) = 1386
