What is the lowest common multiples of 50 and 100

Question

I need answer  to my question  is very important  to me, because i need to carry it to my campus.

Answer 1

Multiples of a number are the answers you get when you multiply that number by another number, for example, the multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. as you multiply 5 by 1,2,3,4, and so on.  COMMON multiples are multiples that numbers have in common.  Look for common multiples of 2 and 3

2,4,6,8,10,12,etc

3,6,9,12,15,etc.

The numbers on BOTH of the lists are common multiples.  6 and 12 are on both lists.  The smallest number on both lists, called the lowest common multiple, is 6.

So on your question, make a list of multiples of 50 by multiplying it by 1,2,3 and make a list of multiples of 100 by multiplying it by 1,2,3.  What is the smallest number that is on both lists?  That is the lowest common multiple.

 

Keep working.  You can do this!
