BlakeThere is really no 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.

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 18?
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 8 is 72, which is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors in the given numbers (2^3 x 3^2).72
What is the least common multiple of 3 2 and 5?
The least common multiple of 3 , 2 , 5 = 30
What is the least common multiple for 2 3 and 8?
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 2 3 8 is 24.
What is the largest common multiple of both 2 and 3?
There is no largest common multiple of any two numbers: whatever common multiple is claimed to be the largest can be increased to an even larger common multiple by adding the lowest common multiple for the numbers (which for 2 and 3 is 6).
What is the least common multiple of 12 and 32?
The LCM of 12 and 32 is 96.The least common multiple of 12 and 32 is 12 x 32 ÷ GCF (12 and 32).The greatest common factor of 12 and 32 is 4.Therefore, the least common multiple of 12 and 32 is 12 x 32 ÷ 4 = 96.Another way to determine this is to take the highest power of each factor of the two numbers.The factors of 12 are 22 and 3.The factors of 32 are 25.The highest power of 2 is 25 and the highest power of 3 is 31, so the least common multiple is 25 x 31 = 96.Least common multiple of 32 and 12 is 96.96 = LCM
