To find the least common denominator, list the multiples of each denominator. The lowest one they have in common is the LCD.For example:2/3 and 3/4:The multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24...The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24...The common multiples are 12 and 24. Since 12 is the least, it is the LCM.
4, 8 and 12 are the first 3 common multiples of 2 and 4
Multiples are the results when we multiply a number by an integer. For instance: We have number 3. If we multiply 3 by 1,2,3,4,5,6,...,n, the results would be 3,6,9,12,15,18,...,n which are the multiples of 3. Least Common Multiple is the smallest number common to two or more numbers. For instance: We have 3 and 4 as our given numbers. The multiples of 3 are 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,...,n while the multiples of 4 are 4,8,12,16,20,24,...,n. As we can see, the common multiples are 12 and 24... The least is 12. Therefore, the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.
There are infinitely many common multiples of 24 and 4. Those are all numbers of form t = 24n, where n = 1, 2, 3, ..., because 24 itself is divisible by 4. The least common multiple of 4 and 24 is 24.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 3 4 9 is 36.
