The least common multiple of 23 , 20 = 460
A common multiple
"most common multiple" is not a recognised mathematical term. 48 is a common multiple, but it is not the Least Common Multiple (LCM).
The least common multiple (LCM) is often also called the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple. Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the smallest positive integer which is a multiple of two or more numbers.The least common multiple of 3 and 24 is 24.
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.
