A common multiple of two natural numbers is a number that is a multiple of both numbers. For example, 42 is a common multiple of 6 and 14, because 42 = 6 • 7 and 42 = 14 • 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of two natural numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both. EXAMPLE Find the least common multiple of 24 and 30. First write the prime factorization of each number. 24 = 2 • 2 • 2 • 3 SOLUTION 30 = 2 • 3 • 5 䉴 The least common multiple is the product of the common prime factors and all the prime factors that are not common. The least common multiple of 24 and 30 is 2 • 3 • 2 • 2 • 5 = 120.
