Can you guarantee that it is always possible to choose three numbers that will add up to a multiple of three from any set of five positive whole numbers?

no because first of all you should have said differentpositive whole #s because now i can say 1*1*1=1 which is not a multiple of 3
but assuming they are different it is still a no because 2*1*5=10 which is not a multiple of 3

What are two pairs of numbers that have 11 as their least common multiple?
The only possible pair of different positive numbers is (1, 11).
How do you find the least common multiple 35?
Not possible. The LCM (least common multiple) is the smallest positive whole number exactly divisible by two or more whole numbers.
How many consecutive numbers do you need to guarantee that one of the numbers is divisible by 6?
Every sixth number will be a multiple of 6, so you need at least six consecutive numbers to guarantee that one of them will be divisible by 6.
When a multiple is shared by two or more numbers that multiple is called?
A common multiple. If it is the lowest possible combination of those numbers, it is called the Least Common Multiple or LCM.
