Find the least common multiple for a pair of numbers, with both numbers being less than or equal to 12.

6.NS.B.4
    M.5.7.2   Find the greatest common factor of two numbers within the range of 1-100. 6.NS.B.4
    M.5.7.3   Demonstrate that a fraction is a division of the numerator by the denominator by solving problems that require the division of a whole number leading to a fractional answer. 5.NF.B.3
    M.5.7.4   Add fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent fractions and simplify the sum. 5.NF.A.1
    M.5.7.5   Subtract fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent fractions and simplify the difference. 5.NF.A.1
    M.5.7.6   Add and subtract mixed numbers with different denominators by renaming the mixed numbers as equivalent fractions and simplify the sum or difference. 5.NF.A.1
    M.5.7.7   Use benchmark fractions and number sense to estimate and assess the reasonability of answers. 5.NF.A.2
