1. **State the problem:** Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2, 6, and 30.
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** The LCM of a set of numbers is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by all of them.
3. **Prime factorization:**
- 2 = $2$
- 6 = $2 \times 3$
- 30 = $2 \times 3 \times 5$
4. **Identify the highest powers of all prime factors:**
- For 2: highest power is $2^1$
- For 3: highest power is $3^1$
- For 5: highest power is $5^1$
5. **Calculate the LCM by multiplying these highest powers:**
$$\text{LCM} = 2^1 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 2 \times 3 \times 5 = 30$$
6. **Final answer:** The Least Common Multiple of 2, 6, and 30 is **30**.
