The common multiples of any two or more numbers are the multiples of their lowest common multiple.lcm(3, 4, 5) = 60→ first three common multiples are:60 x 1 = 6060 x 2 = 12060 x 3 = 18060, 120, 180
The first three common multiples of 6 and 8 are the first three multiples of the least common multiple of 6 and 8. 6 = 2 x 3 and 8 = 2 x 2 x 2. Therefore, the LCM of 6 and 8 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 or 24. The first three multiples of 24 are 24, 48 and 72.
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: 248 * 3 = 2412 * 2 = 24(2 * 12 = 24)Second common multiple: 488 * 6 = 4812 * 4 = 48(2 * 24 = 48)Second common multiple: 728 * 9 = 7212 * 6 = 72(2 * 36 = 72)
All nonzero numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. 36 is a multiple of 4. 36 is a multiple of 9. 36 is a common multiple of 4 and 9.
