There is really so such thing as a "greatest common multiple." Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
The first few common multiples of 3, 5, and 8 are: 120, 240, 360, 480, and 600.

What is the greatest common multiple of 5 and 6?
There is no greatest common multiple: for whatever value you say is the greatest I can always add their lowest common multiple and get an even greater common multiple.There is a greatest common FACTOR and a LOWEST common multiple:gcf(5, 6) = 1lcm(5, 6) = 30
What 3 pairs of numbers that greatest common factor is 5?
5 and any multiple of 5 5,10 5,15 5,20
What is the greatest common multiple of 5 7 and 8?
There is no answer.
What is the greatest common multiple 25 and 30?
5
What is the greatest common multiple of 5 6 7?
Don't you mean least common multiple? The least common multiple is 210.
