"What is the least common multiple of 10 and 75?"
The answer is 150.
To find a common multiple - you need to have something to compare it to ! For example, the least common multiple of 2 & 3 is 6 !
To find the least common multiple, you need two terms. For example, the least common multiple of 120 and 5 would be 600 and the least common multiple of 120 and 16 would be 240. With one term, there is no least common multiple.
the lowest common multiple, the smallest common multiple, the LCM
The least common multiple of 4 and 9 is 36.
The least common multiple of 3,4, and 60 is the same as the least common multiple of 12 and 60. This is because the least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. The answer to this problem is 60.
An example of a common multiple of 3 and 15 would be 15itself. This is also the least common multiple (LCM).
There cannot be a least common multiple if there are not at least two numbers. The least common multiple is the smallest number that is a multiple of the two (or more) numbers. For example, the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. The multiples of 63 are 63, 126, 189, 252, 315, 378, 441, ...
a single number cannot have a least common multiple. a least common multiple is the lowest number that 2 different numbers can mulitply in to. for example, the least common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24. this is because 24 is the lowest number that both 8 and 6 can go in to. if you meant the least common multiple of 7 and 2, then the least common multiple of 7 and 2 is 14.
Since 54 is a multiple of 9, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
Since 160 is a multiple of 16, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
Since 204 is a multiple of 68, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
Since 289 is a multiple of 17, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
