Using the Ladder Method to Find the Least Common Multiple

The video tutorial explains how to find the least common multiple (LCM) of numbers using the ladder method. The instructor begins by introducing the problem and selecting a shared factor among the numbers. The process involves dividing the numbers by shared factors until only ones remain. The final step is to multiply the numbers outside the ladder to find the LCM, which is 24 in this example.
