Question

The least common multiple of two numbers is the (largest/ smallest) number that can be divided evenly by all the given numbers.

Answer 1

Let's take an example.
Some of the multiples of $2$ are:
$2\times 1=2$
$2\times 2=4$
$2\times 3=6$
$2\times 4=8$
$2\times 5=10$

Some of the multiples of $5$ are:
$5\times 1=5$
$5\times 2=10$
$5\times 3=15$

The smallest common multiple of $2$ and $5$ is $10.$

$\therefore$ The least common multiple of two numbers is the smallest number that can be divided evenly by both the given numbers.
