Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put these numbers into their prime factors.

18: 2 * 3 * 3

27: 3 * 3 * 3

12: 2 * 2 * 3

The LCM must have

two 2s

Three 3s

That's it

2*2 * 3 * 3 * 3

LCM = 108

648 might be a multiple of the three, but it's not the smallest one.

108 = 27 * 4

108 = 18 * 6

108 = 12 * 9
