Note down the given works in your Maths Copy.

Common multiples:- Multiples which are common or same for two


or more numbers are called the common multiples.

Example:- Find the common multiples of 4 and 6.


We check which multiples are present for both the numbers.

Method 1 : By listing the multiples.


Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28…etc
Multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36…etc
Common multiples = 12, 24, 36…etc

Common multiples are


Method 2 : Using diagram or Venn diagram. written in common area
of the circles.

(In higher classes we will learn many other uses of Venn diagram.)
Note:- Here look carefully, we find the common multiples also
follow some pattern i.e. table of 12. So we can say;
First 2 common multiples of 4 and 6 = 12, 24
5th common multiples of 4 and 6 = 60 (as 12 x 5 = 60)
7th common multiples of 4 and 6 = 84 (as 12 x 7 = 84)
8th and 12th common multiples of 4 and 6 = 96 and 144 (think!)
Similarly we can find any number of common multiples like this.

Lowest Common Multiple(LCM) :- The smallest of the common


multiples of given 2 or more numbers is called their Lowest
Common Multiple or LCM.
Steps to find LCM :-
1. Write 5 to 10 multiples of the numbers.
2. Circle the common multiples.
3. Write down the common multiples.
4. Smallest of the common multiples is their LCM.
Example:-
1. Find LCM of 4, 9 and 12.
Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40
Multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
Common multiples = 36, 72, 108.. (How do we write 72, 108 ?)
LCM = 36

2. Find LCM of 3, 4, 5 on diagram.


Common multiples of 3 and 5.
Common multiples of 3 and 4.
LCM = 60
Common multiples of 4 and 5.
Practice Questions
Q3. Find the first 2 common multiples of given numbers. Also find
their LCM.:-
(a) 4 and 5
Solution:- Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40,…etc
Multiples of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45…etc
Common multiples = 20, 40
LCM = 20
(b) 8 and 12 (Do it yourself)
(c) 3 and 9 (Do it yourself)
(d) 2, 4 and 6 (Do it yourself)
(e) 5, 8 and 10 (Do it yourself)
(f) 2, 3 and 9 (Do it yourself)

Q4. Find the LCM of these numbers. Also find their 3rd and 7th
common multiples.
(a) 6 and 9
Solution:- Multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36…etc
Multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54…etc
Common multiples = 18, 36...etc
3rd and 7th common multiples = 54 and 126
LCM = 18 (as we know 18 x 3 = 54, 18 x7 = 126)
(b) 10 and 20 (Do it yourself)
(c) 4 and 8 (Do it yourself)
(d) 12 and 18 (Do it yourself)
(e) 3, 5 and 10 (Do it yourself)
(f) 6, 8 and 12 (Do it yourself)
Q5. Using diagram method, find the common multiples and LCM.
(a) 3 and 4
Solution –
Common multiples are :-
12, 24, 36 ...etc

LCM = 12

(b) 6 and 8 (Do it yourself)


(c) 10 and 15 (Do it yourself)
(d) 6 and 9 (Do it yourself)
(e) 4, 5 and 6 (Do it yourself)
(f) 2, 3 and 5 (Do it yourself)

Interesting facts
➢ We can find any number of common multiples using LCM.
nth common multiple = n x LCM

➢ Venn diagram is named in honor of Mathematician John Venn


who popularized this method of solving Maths problems.
