The Least Common Multiple (or Lowest Common Multiple) of a group of numbers, called the LCM, is the smallest number that's a multiple of all the numbers. For instance, the LCM of 16 and 20 is 80; 80 is the smallest number that's both a multiple of 16 and a multiple of 20.

What multiples are shared by two or more numbers?
common multiples
What do you call multiples that are shared by two or more numbers?
Those are known as "common multiples". The smallest POSITIVE of these common multiples is called the "least common multiple".
Does a number have more multiples or factors?
Multiples. Numbers have an infinite number of multiples.
What are the common multiples of 21 and 40?
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).
What are the multiples of 12 and 16?
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.
What are the first common multiples of 3918?
Multiples of 983 include 983, 1966, 2949 and 3932. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of multiples.

What is the method of making large numbers more managable by turning them into multiples of 10?
That's called scientific notation.
When a multiple is shared by two or more numbers that multiple is called?
A common multiple. If it is the lowest possible combination of those numbers, it is called the Least Common Multiple or LCM.
Are there more multiples of 25 than 24?
No, all whole numbers have an infinite number of multiples.
What is a number that has two or more multiples called?
It's called a number. Every non-zero integer has two or more multiples.
What are the multiples of one number that are also multiples of another number?
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.
