The Highest Common Multiple (HCM) of two numbers is the largest multiple that both numbers share. To find the HCM of 32 and 48, we first list the multiples of each number: 32 (32, 64, 96, ...) and 48 (48, 96, ...). The largest multiple that both 32 and 48 share is 96. Therefore, the HCM of 32 and 48 is 96.

There is really so such thing as a "highest 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 highest multiple.
