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).
To work out the lowest common multiple of two or more numbers we need to resolve each number to its prime factors. Then, we can multiply those factors together to give us the lowest common multpile. The factors of 4 are 2, 2 The factors of 4 are 2, 3 To be a multiple of 4, the lowest common multiple must have 2 and 2 in its list to be a multiple of 4, the lowest common multiple must have 2 and 3 in its list So, starting with the 4 we have (2, 2) As there is already a 2 in the mix, when we come to the 6 we only need to add the 3 making our list (2, 2, 3) If we multiple all these numbers together we get 12. 4 x 3 = 12 6 x 2 = 12
18 (3 * 6, 6 * 3, 9 * 2)
Each are prime so: LCM = 2*3*7 = 42
The lowest common multiple of 2, 3, and 4, is 12.
the lowest common multiple of 2, 3 and 6 is 6.
2 and 3.* * * * *What???The lowest COMMON multiple is 72It is: 72
The lowest common multiple is 2*2*3*3*3*3 = 324
The lowest multiple of 3 and 8 is 3. This is not the lowest common multiple.

The LCM is: 6
It is: 30
It is: 6
The lowest common multiple of two numbers, a and bis the smallest number that is divisible by both a and b. There is no such thing as a lowest common multiple of a single number.In the case that this question is asking the lowest common multiple of 3 and 2, the answer is 6.
The factors of 264 are 2, 2, 2, 3, 11. The factors of 558 are 2, 3, 3, 31. Therefore, the lowest common multiple is the product of 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 11, 31 or 24552.
