Multiples
A multiple of a number is the product of that number and any nonzero whole number.
Example:Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, …Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, …
Common Multiples:The numbers 12, 24, and 36 are common multiples of 4 and 6. The common multiple of 12 is the least common multiple!!!
