All nonzero numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. 12 is a multiple of 3. 12 is a multiple of 4. 12 is a common multiple of 3 and 4.All non-zero numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples. 12 is a multiple of 3. 12 is a multiple of 4. 12 is a common multiple of 3 and 4.
There is no 'greatest common multiple' of any two numbers. You can keep multiplying towards infinity and you will never reach a maximum. You may either be thinking of... ...the least common multiple of 3 and 4, which is 12. ...the greatest common denominator of 3 and 4, which is 1.
You can use any common multiple of 2 and 4. The easiest (for subsequent calculations) to use is the lowest common multiple, which for 2 and 4 is 4. → 1/2 = 2/4 → 3/4 = 3/4 (it already has 4 in the denominator)
