Question

Find out the multiples of $2$ and $3$ from the grid.
The common multiples are :

• A. $2,\mathrm{4.6.8}$
• B. $6,12,18,24$
• C. $3,6,9,12$
• D. $12,24,36$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $6,12,18,24$

We know that a multiple of a number is that number multiplied by an integer. Integers are negative as well as positive.

Now, we write the multiples of $2$ and $3$ are as follows:

Multiples of $2$ are $-2,-4,-6,-8,-\mathrm{10.....},2,4,6,8,10,.......$

Multiples of $3$ are $-3,-6,-9,-12,-\mathrm{15.....},3,6,9,12,15,.......$

Now, from the given grid of numbers, the common multiples of $2$ and $3$ are $6,12,18,24$ because all of these numbers are divided by both $2$ and $3$.

Hence, the common multiples of $2$ and $3$ are $6,12,18,24$.
