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.Besides, the word "common" implies that the multiple is common to two or more numbers. There is only one number in the question.

How do you use a division ladder to find the greatest common factor?

Division Ladders are useful for finding Greatest Common Factors, also known as Greatest Common Divisors. If your math problem is to find the GCF of 32, 24 and 40 using a Division Ladder, you would find the answer thusly: 2 |32, 24, 40 , |_________ 2 |16, 12, 20 , |________ 2 | 8, 6, 10 , |________ , 4, 3, 5 You would be dividing by 2 in this case, then multiply your divisors, 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. Your Greatest Common Factor for 32, 24 and 40 is 8. I used the commas for placeholders, as without them, the vertical lines don't line up.
