Common Multiples
Common multiples of two or more given numbers are the numbers which can exactly be divided by each of the given numbers.
A number that is a multiple of two or more numbers is called common multiple those numbers.
For Example:
Let us try to find out the multiples of 8 and 12.
Multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48............
Multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72..........
Thus, common multiples of 8 and 12 are 24, 48, ...........
Consider the following.
(i) Multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, …………etc.
Multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, …………… etc.
Therefore, common multiples of 3 and 4 = 12, 24, ………..etc.
[It can easily be seen that each of the common multiples 12, 24, etc., is exactly divisible by both 3 and 4].
(ii) Multiples of 2 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ………… etc.
Multiples of 5 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ………… etc.
Therefore, common multiples of 2 and 5 = 10, 20, ………..etc.
[It can easily be seen that each of the common multiples 10, 20, etc., is exactly divisible by both 2 and 5].
(iii) Multiples of 2 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, ……etc.
Multiples of 3 are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, ………… etc.
Multiples of 6 are = 6, 12, 18, 24, …………… etc.
Therefore, common multiples of 2, 3 and 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, ………..etc.
[It can easily be seen that each of the common multiples 6, 12, 18, 24, etc., is exactly divisible by all three numbers 2, 3 and 6].
