That's the least common multiple, or LCM.
False. The least common multiple (LCM) of a list of numbers is the smallest number that is divisible by each number in the list, not just a multiple. In other words, the LCM is the smallest number that is a common multiple of all the numbers in the list.
The smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers is called the least common multiple, or LCM.
It is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers in the set. Or to put it another way, it is the smallest number divisible by all the numbers in the set.
The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the numbers in the set. For sets of multiples, the LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers in the sets. The LCM can be calculated by finding the prime factorization of each number and then taking the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers.
