A single number cannot have a common multiple.
The number is a multiple of 3 and 32 at the same time
The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The least multiple of a number is itself.
96.
As a general rule, factors cannot be larger than the number they are compared to. 384 is a multiple of 96. 96 is a factor of 384.
The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The least multiple of a number is itself.
96
The number is 64, or 80, or 96 .
There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.

Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a highest common multiple.

LCM of x and y is y if y is a multiple of x. 96 is a multiple of 48, so LCM(48,96) = 96.
