Lowest Common Multiple

 LI: to find the Lowest Common Multiple.


For maths this week we were learning about the LCM (Lowest, Common, Multiple). The lowest common multiple is when the 2 numbers have the same multiple, that is the lowest. For an example 8 and 6, we know that 8 x 3 and 6 x 4 equals 24 and nothing is lower than 24. To find the lowest common multiple, the easiest way to do so, is to multiply both numbers. If we were to find the lowest common multiple of 4 and 5. We multiply both numbers, which makes 20. There are no lower common multiples than 20. This is a strategy we all found out, from doing the first 3 questions.
