c 36
The least common multiple of 18 and 30 is the smallest number that both 18 and 30 can divide into evenly. The prime factorization of 18 is 2 * 3^2 and the prime factorization of 30 is 2 * 3 * 5.
To find the least common multiple, we need to take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number. So the least common multiple is 2 * 3^2 * 5 = 36.
