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.
The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and not very practical for problem solving.
The greatest common multiple of 8 and 20 is 4.
A multiple of a number x is xy where y is any integer. For example, multiples of 3 include 12 (3x4) 15 (3x5) and 36 (3x12) A common multiple of x and z is any number that can be expressed as a multiple of x or z. For instance 36 is a common multiple of 3 and 4, as it is a multiple of both. The term "greatest" means the highest valued number. For instance, the greatest out of 4, 68 and 20 is 68. It makes no sense to speak of a "greatest common multiple" as common multiples will go up to infinity. If I have a common multiple m, then 2m, 3m, 4m and so on will also be common multiples.
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is: 4 .The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.

The greatest common multiple of 8 and 20 is 4.
There is no such number. If X were a common multiple of 4 and 3 then a number of the form k*X (where k is any integer) would also be a multiple. There is no limit to how large k can be and so no greatest multiple.
The greatest common factor(gcf) of 4 and 32 is 4. The least common multiple of 4 and 32 is 32.
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
The lowest common multiple (LCM) is: 240

Common multiples of 2, 3 and 4 include 12, 24, 36 and 48. The greatest common multiple cannot be expressed as an integer.
