Question

7. If the first number is a multiple of the second number, what is the LCM of the two numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A common multiple is a number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. Common multiples of 2 and 3 are 0, 6, 12, 18, ... The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number (excluding zero) that is a multiple of both of the numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

If the first number is a multiple of the second number, what is the LCM of the two numbers = the first number

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Two numbers such that one number is a multiple of other

To find,

The LCM of the two numbers

Solution

Let x and y be the two numbers,

then we have x = ny, where n is any natural number.

LCM of x and y = least common multiple of x and y

= least common multiple of ny and y

=ny

=x

∴ If the first number is a multiple of the second number, what is the LCM of the two numbers = the first number
