Unless a specific number is called for, three common multiples are enough to establish a pattern. For example, the common multiples of 4 and 6 are 12, 24, 36 and so on.
1, 660, 5580
If both of your numbers divide into them evenly with no remainder, they are common multiples.
You can start by listing out each number's factors. Then, when you find at least one common factor, that is your answer!
It's the smallest one.
That seems like a fairly easy choice...
It's the smallest one.
You know a number is not prime when the multiples are not limited to that number and 1.
The Multiples of 100 is 100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900 and so on. If your doing multiples from 1 to 100 then the only multiple of 100 is 100. Multiples Definition = A number Multiples by a number to = A number For example - I need to know the multiples of 7 7 X 1 = 7 7 X 2 = 14 ... and so on The products of the numbers are called multiples.
Since the only factor those two numbers have in common is 1, the LCM will be their product. Any other common multiples will be multiples of their product.
I don't know 2, but 4x7=28, and that is a common factor.
The common multiples of 3 and 8 are 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and so on. The LCM (least common multiple) of 3 and 8 is 24.
the reason they are important is because well... Ummm... I DONT KNOW
