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.

There is nothing common to a single number. We need at least two numbers in order to look for some common.
To find the LCM, you first need to express the numbers as the product of their prime factors. In this case, that would be: 1296 = 2x2x2x2x3x3x3x3 192 = 2x2x2x2x2x2x3 The next step is to identify any common factors. In this case both numbers have four 2s, so we can discard 4 of these. Also, both numbers have a 3, so we can discard one of these. Take every other factor (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 and 3) and multiply them together to find the lowest common multiple 2x2x2x2x2x2x3x3x3x3 = 5,184 Thus the LCM of 1296 and 192 is 5,184
The least common multiple of the numbers 32 and 48 is 96.
There is not a least common multiple of 32 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. Some multiples of 32 are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, and 256. The least common multiple of 4 and 32 is 32. The least common multiple of 25 and 32 is 800. The least common multiple of 12 and 32 is 96.
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 52 and 64 is 832.
There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
