In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple or lowest common multiple (lcm) or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both a and b. Since it is a multiple, it can be divided by a and b without a remainder. If there is no such positive integer, e.g., if a = 0 or b = 0, then lcm(a, b) is defined to be zero.) For example, the least common multiple of the numbers 4 and 6 is 12. When adding or subtracting vulgar fractions, it is useful to find the least common multiple of the denominators, often called the lowest common denominator. For instance, : where the denominator 42 was used because lcm(21, 6) = 42.

How do you find the most common multiple?
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.
What are the most common multiples of 10 and 9?
Each common multiple of 9 and 10 occurs exactly once (in the list of common multiples), so there is no common multiple that occurs the most. All common multiples of 9 and 10 are the multiples of their least common multiple which is 90.
What are the common multiples of 18 and 24?
The common multiples of 18 and 24 are 72 and 144.

How are common multiples and common denominators the same and different?
Common multiples and common denominators can be found using the same process. They differ in their function. Common denominators are common multiples that are functioning as denominators.
