To find the least number of community members that could share the animals equally, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the total number of animals (18 sheep + 12 cows + 36 goats = 66).
Prime factorize 66:
66 = 2 * 3 * 11
Therefore, the least number of community members that could share the animals equally is 66.
