The first four multiples of
What are the first six multiples of
? To find the first six multiples of
, you simply multiply by the numbers through separately and create a list of the products you find similar to the list written above. The first six multiples of
are , and . What are the first six multiples of
? The first six multiples of
are , and . What is the least common multiple of
and ? (Refer to the Math Note in this lesson.) The Least Common Multiple of two or more integers is the lowest positive integer that is divisible by both (or all ) of the integers. For example, the multiples of
and are shown below in the table. is the Least Common Multiple because it is the smallest positive integer divisible by both and . Use this idea to find the least common multiple of and . What is the greatest common factor of
and ? (Refer to the Math Note in this lesson.) The Greatest Common Factor of two or more integers is the greatest positive integer that is a factor of both (or all) of the integers. For example, the factors of
are , , , , and and the factors of are , , , , , and , so the Greatest Common Factor of and is . The factors of
are: , and . The factors of are: and . Can you find the greatest common factor now?
