common multiples
Those are known as "common multiples". The smallest POSITIVE of these common multiples is called the "least common multiple".
Multiples. Numbers have an infinite number of multiples.
There is an infinite number of common multiples for 21 and 40. A common multiple of any two or more numbers is any number into which each of two or more numbers can be divided evenly (zero remainder).
The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48 and keep on adding 12.The multiples of 16 are 16, 32, 48, 64 and keep on adding 16.If you look at the two of these, you can see there is a least common multiple. A least common multiple is the smallest multiple that are shared by two (or more) numbers. If you list the multiples down, you can see 48 are in both, so 48 is the least common multiple for 12 and 16.

A single number cannot have a "common multiple" - common multiples are shared by two or more numbers.
Multiples of 983 include 983, 1966, 2949 and 3932. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of multiples.

Multiples. Numbers have an infinite number of multiples.
That's called scientific notation.
A common multiple. If it is the lowest possible combination of those numbers, it is called the Least Common Multiple or LCM.
No, all whole numbers have an infinite number of multiples.
It's called a number. Every non-zero integer has two or more multiples.
Common denominators. These are called "common multiples". For example, multiples of 4 are: 4,8,12,16,20,24 ... . Multiples of 6 are: 6,12,18,24,30,36 ... . The numbers on both lists are the common multiples and they include: 12,24,36, ... . Specifically, the smallest number in any such list of common multiples (12 in this example) is known as the Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple or LCM.
