It is the lowest number that is a multiple of both of the two numbers.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 78, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common. Examples: The least common multiple of 18 and 78 is 234. The least common multiple of 52 and 78 is 156. The least common multiple of 78 and 195 is 390.
Since this is a single number, you could say that it shares all of its multiples with itself. So the least multiple of the number is itself. However, determining a least common multiple generally requires at least two numbers from which to find the LCM.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of (3,7,10) is 210
All numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. On the list of common multiples, one number is the smallest. This is the least common multiple.
The common multiples of 9 and 16 are 144, 288, 432 and so on.
least common multiple, or LCM
Short answer: There is none. There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 54, because there cannot be any form of common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common. Thus, since there are not two or more numbers to compare, there is not a least common multiple. The lowest common multiple of 54 depends upon the other number(s) with which it has COMMON multiples and is one of the multiples of 54. The common multiples of 54 depends upon the other numbers with which 54 has COMMON multiples and are the multiples of the least common multiples between 54 and the other number(s).
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.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 6x15y, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 1757, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 1824, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 132, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
"Common multiples" is usually used for two or more numbers, not for a single number. The least common multiple of a single number is, of course, the number itself. To get additional multiples, multiply this least common multiple by 2, by 3, by 4, etc.
There is not a common multiple or least common multiple of a single number, such as 30, because there cannot be any common multiples without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
A single number cannot have a least common multiple because "common" refers to multiples that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.
There is not a least common multiple of a single number, such as 130, because there cannot be a least common multiple without two or more numbers to compare. Common multiples are multiples that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that all the numbers being compared have in common.
You need at least two numbers to find a least common multiple.
