It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common multiple (GCM) would, if it made any sense, refer to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
Furthermore, there can be no such thing as a "greatest common multiple" of two or more numbers. 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.

What is the greatest common multiple and least common multiple of 16 and 20?
lcm(16, 20) is 80.There is NO greatest common multiple, for whatever multiple of their LCM you give, I can always add another 80 and get an even greater common multiple.Mefinx you meant their greatest common FACTOR, which is 4.
What is the greatest common multiple for 15 and 35?
There can be no greatest common multiple. If x were the greatest common multiple, then 2x would be a still greater common multiple. So x could not be the greatest. Thus there is no such thing as a greatest common multiple.
What is the greatest common multiple of 473 and 1000?
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
What is the greatest common multiple of 50 and 85?
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
What is the greatest common multiple of 48 and 30?
There can never be a greatest common multiple. If a number, X, is claimed as the greatest common multiple, the 2X is a common multiple, and it is greater than X which contradicts X being the greatest.
