    The table is filled out above. Do you see any patterns? Perhaps there are several multiples of another number? Don't forget to describe the patterns you notice.

  2. What is the smallest multiple of both and ?

    Here, you should look for the least common multiple. Remember, the least common multiple is the smallest number that and share as multiples, or have in common.

  3. Write three more numbers that are multiples of both and .

    It will help to extend your table to find the next multiples.

    The next three common multiples in the sequence are , , and .
