The least common multiple of 4 and 9 is 36.
A word problem that involves common multiples could be, "Whatare the common multiples of 10 and 15?"
The least common multipleof 7 and 9 is 63.
The word "least" is a superlative. What that means is that there cam be only one such number. Therefore 2, 3 and 5 have only one least common multiple, not least common multiples! LCM(2, 3, 5) = 30.
The word "LEAST" (in Least Common Multiple) is a superlative adjective and that means there can be only one. So asking about least common multiples makes no sense.LCM(A, B) = A*B.
The word "least" is a superlative. That means that there can only be one such number. So you cannot have least common multiples of 24 and 28.LCM(24, 28) = 168.
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question for at least two reasons.The first is that the word "least" is a superlative. That means there can only be one. So asking for least common multiplesdoes not make sense.Second, 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!
It would be a multiple. The word "LEAST" (in Least Common Multiple) is a superlative adjective and that means there can be only one. The result would be a least common multiple only if every pair of the numbers were coprime.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 10, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.Examples:The least common multiple of 8 and 10 is 40.The least common multiple of 10 and 35 is 70.The least common multiple of 10 and 43 is 430.The least common multiple of 3, 10, and 66 is 330.You need to provide two or more positive integer numbers to properly answer this.
Wait just a second. I've written the answer to that question three times,before I took a good close look at it.-- There is no such thing as "common multiples of 8".-- The word "common" means "same for both". There is nothing common abouta single item, and there's no such thing as a 'common multiple' until you havetwo different numbers (at least).-- There are twelve multiples of 8 that are less than 100. They range from 8 to 96 .-- "Common multiple of 8" is meaningless.
The least common multiple, or LCM.
LCM
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. 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! Furthermore, the word "lowest" is a superlative and that means there could have been only one such number.
