Question

Find the first three common multiples of $6,8$

Answer 1

Write down the multiples of $6$ and $8$ and identify the common one

A common multiple refers to a multiple of one or more than one number.

First ten multiple of $6$ is $=6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60$

First ten multiple of $8$ is$=8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80$

The common multiple of $6$ and $8$ in their first ten multiples are $24,48$ and $72$

Hence, the first three common multiples of $6$ and $8$ are $24,48$ and $72$
