24 and 48
24, 48, 72.
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)
The first three multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of multiples.
4, 8 and 12 are the first 3 common multiples of 2 and 4
The first three multiples of 235 are 235, 470 and 705. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of multiples. The first three common multiples of 2, 3 and 5 are 30, 60 and 90.
First three common multiples of 2 and 6 are 6, 12 and 18.

Multiples of 1 include 1, 2 and 3. For them to be common, they need to be compared to another set of multiples.
Instead of writing multiples of 36 and 96 and then sorting out the common multiples the much better way is to find the LCM of 36 and 96.LCM stands for Least Common Multiple and the first common multiple is the LCM.LCM of 36 and 96 can be found by prime factorization method:36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 396 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 32 x 2 x 3 is common and the LCM is obtained by multiplying the common portion(2 x 2 x 3) with the remaining portion(2 x 2 x 2 x 3).LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 288.LCM of 36 and 96 is 288.The first three common multiples of 36 and 96 are the first three multiples of 288.So, the first three common multiples are 288, 576 and 864.
