This is the lowest common multiple which is the smallest number greater than 0 which is a multiple of all the numbers.
for example the lowest common multiple (lcm) of 4 and 6 is 12 as 12 is the first (smallest) number greater than 0 that is a multiple of both 4 and 6.

There is no "most common multiple". To find all common multiples, you start by finding the least common multiple. All other common multiples are multiples of this least common multiple.
Use some method which you probably already learned, to find the least common multiple. All the other common multiples are multiples of this least common multiple, so you can multiply the least common multiple by 2, by 3, by 4, etc., to get additional common multiples.
The common multiples of 2 and 3 are 6, 12, 18, and so on.6, 12, 18 and so on.
All nonzero numbers have multiples. Some numbers have the some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. 12 is a multiple of 3. 12 is a multiple of 4. 12 is a common multiple of 3 and 4.
The COMMON multiples of 11 require at least one other number with which the multiple is COMMON. The COMMON multiples will be multiples of 11. The multiples of 11 between 1 and 100 are {11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99}, thus the COMMON multiples of 11 [with other numbers] wil be one, or more of this set.
