LCM(5,7) = 5*7 = 35, because 5 and 7 are both prime
LCM(10,2) = 10, because 2 divides 10
LCM(9,6) = 18, because 9 = 3*3, and 6 = 3*2, so the LCM has two factors of 3 and 1 factor of 2. 3*3*2 = 18.
In general, LCM(a,b) = a*b / GCF(a,b), where GCF = greatest common factor. In other words, you can find the LCM by writing the prime factorizations of a and b, and taking each factor the maximum number of times it appears in any number. Multiply them all together and you have the LCM.
Shortcuts: LCM(a,b) = ab if a,b are relatively prime, and LCM(a,b) = b if a divides b.

we have : 5 = 5*1 and 7 = 7*1 so their LCM = 5*7 = 35
10 = 2*5 and 2 = 2*1 so their LCM = 5*2 =10
9 = 3^2 and 6 = 2*3 so their LCM = 3^2 * 2 =18
