You might mean the Least Common Multiple, or LCM. First, is one of the numbers a multiple of the other? Yes, 33 is a multiple of 11. Your answer is 33, because 11 can be multiplied by 3 to make 33. 33 times 1 is 33. The least common multiple is the smallest number that is a multiple of both given numbers.

Let's use a whole different example. What is the Least Common Multiple of 12 and 20?

Show the multiples of 12 in one row:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144 ...

The multiples of 20 are:

20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 ...

What is the smallest number that is in both lists? 60 is in both lists. 60 is the LCM of 12 and 20. Very few teachers show students this technique.
