Maryland Content Standard 6.5.3:use number theory concepts of primes, factors, multiples, and rules of divisibility to show number relationships
Least Common Multiple A multiple of a number is the product of the number and a whole number.
The first five non-zero multiples of 5 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. We have seen that numbers can have common factors. They also have common multiples.
List the multiples of 4: List the multiples of 6: Common multiples of 4 and 6 include 12 and 24. The LCM is ____________.
Study Tip!!!!! Don’t list too many multiples of one number before beginning the other list. You may write many more than you need
