13. Multiple The product of a number and any whole number.
Ex. The first 6 multiples of 3 are
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18
List the first 6 multiples of 4
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

14. 3. Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM)
The least multiple that two or more numbers have in common.
Ex.
9: 9, 18,27, 36, 45, 54
12: 12, 24, 36,

15. The short cut!
Find the multiples of the largest number and determine if the multiples go into the smallest numbers. 3
12: 12
LCM = 12
