What are the first 2 multiples of 8 and 12?

Answer 1

The first thing you should notice is that both 8 and 12 are evenly divisible by 2. This means that any common multiples of 8 and 12 will also be multiples of 2. So we only really need to find the first three common multiples of 8 and 12.

First common multiple: 24
8 * 3 = 24
12 * 2 = 24
(2 * 12 = 24)

Second common multiple: 48
8 * 6 = 48
12 * 4 = 48
(2 * 24 = 48)

Second common multiple: 72
8 * 9 = 72
12 * 6 = 72
(2 * 36 = 72)

Answer 2

2 is the only common multiple with those three numbers.

Answer 3

24 and 48
