What is the difference between a multiple of two numbers and the least common multiple of two numbers?
All nonzero numbers have multiples. Any two numbers will have an infinite number of multiples in common. The smallest of these is known as the least common multiple, or LCM.
What does the greatest common multiple mean?
The definition of the greatest common multiple of any two numbers is an infinite number.
What does common multiples of a number mean?
All 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
What does the term greatest common multiple mean?
The term Greatest Common Multiple has no meaning; there is no such thing as a greatest multiple. There are the terms: Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) which is the smallest positive (whole) number which is a multiple of two, or more, numbers. eg LCM(4, 10) = 20 as 20 is the first number greater than 0 which is a multiple of both 4 and 10. Highest Common Factor (HCF), or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) which is the largest positive (whole) number that divides into all the numbers (without remainder); this can also said to be the largest positive number (whole) number which has all the numbers as some multiple of it. eg HCF(25, 60) = 5 since 5 is the highest positive (whole) number which divides into 25 and 60 (without remainder). The Lowest Common Factor of any set of numbers is 1 as 1 is the smallest positive (whole) number and it divides into every other (whole) number without remainder; this is not very useful.
Can two whole numbers have a greatest common multiple?
No, there is really no such thing as a "greatest 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 greatest multiple.
Will two numbers always have a common multiple?
A number is an exact multiple of each of a group of numbers. For example, 15 and 30 are common multiple of 3 and 5.
What is a common multiple?
A common multiple is a number that two or more other numbers can both go into. For example, a common multiple of 2, 4, and 6 would be 12.Not sure what you mean by a "comman" multiple, but a commonmultiple of a set of numbers is a number that is a multiple of each number in the set. That is, it is in the multiplication table of each of the numbers in the set. Note, though, that for this purpose, the multiplication tables do not stop at 10 times or 12 times.All numbers have multiples. Some numbers have some of the same multiples as other numbers. These are known as common multiples.18 is a multiple of 6.18 is a multiple of 9.18 is a common multiple of 6 and 9.All numbers have multiples. Some numbers have the same multiples as other numbers. These are called "common multiples."12 is a multiple of 3.12 is a multiple of 4.12 is a common multiple of 3 and 4.
What is the least common multiple of two numbers if one number is a multiple of the other and what is an example?
The LCM is the multiple. The LCM of 9 and 3 is 9.
What is a number that is multiple of two or more numbers is a?
A common multiple
What does lowest common multiple mean?
Lowest Common Multiple-the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers in a given set; same as least common multiple. Example-for 6,9, and 18, 18 is the lowest common multiple. =]its lowest common multiple
What is meant by least common multiple of two or more numbers?
The least common multiple of two or more numbers is the number that both of them can multiply into evenly. For example, the greatest common factor of 4 and 5 is 20.
What is the common multiple?
It's a number that two or more other numbers can both go into. For example, a common multiple of 2, 4, and 6 would be 12.
What is the definition of the least common multiple?
The least common multiple of a set of numbers is the smallest number that all of the numbers in the set will divide into evenly.For example, look at the set LCM(2,3,4,5). The smallest number that they all divide into is 60. ■
Why do you have least common multiple and not greatest common multiple?
There isn't a GCM (greatest common multiple) because multiples have an unlimited supply; numbers have no end. For example, the number 10,000,000,000,000 is smaller than 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
When a number is a multiple of two or more numbers in a set it is a?
A number that is a multiple oof two or numbers is called a common multiple
True or false the least common multiple of a list of numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all numbers in the list of numbers?
False. The least common multiple (LCM) of a list of numbers is the smallest number that is divisible by each number in the list, not just a multiple. In other words, the LCM is the smallest number that is a common multiple of all the numbers in the list.
What is the common denominator of 30?
The common multiple refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The "common" multiple of a number is itself.
