    Answer: 6

    Step-by-step explanation: To find the least common multiple or lcm of 6 and 2, begin by listing the first few multiples of each number.

    Multiples of 6

    1 * 6 = 6

    2 * 6 = 12

    3 * 6 = 18

    Notice that we skipped 0 * 6 in our list of multiples. That's because 0 * 6 is 0 and our least common multiple can't be 0.

    When listing the multiples of 2, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the list of multiples for 6 so that we'll notice when we find a least common multiple.

    Multiples of 2

    1 * 2 = 2 "not a multiple of 6"

    2 * 2 = 4 "not a multiple of 6"

    3 x 2 = 6 ← ""is a multiple of 6"

    Notice that we can stop here because all other multiples that we find will be greater than 6. So the least common multiple of 6 and 2 is 6.
