No, it is not. It is n.
False.
There can never be a greatest common multiple of one number for two reasons:"Common" refers to a multiple that is common to two or more numbers. You cannot have a multiple that is common, but only to one number.If X is the greatest common multiple of a set of numbers, then any multiple of X will also be a common multiple of each member of the set and it will be greater than X. And then, any multiple of this number will be a multiple of each member of the set and will be greater still. And then ...
This is the lowest common multiple which is the smallest number greater than 0 which is a multiple of all the numbers. for example the lowest common multiple (lcm) of 4 and 6 is 12 as 12 is the first (smallest) number greater than 0 that is a multiple of both 4 and 6.
The first one is 5x1=5 the next is 5x2=10 The number itself is always the first multiple. This is important because when finding a common multiple, one needs to consider the number itself as a multiple Example: Find the least common multiple of 5 and 10, the answer is 10 since it is a multiple of itself and 5xs2 is 10.
Two or more numbers are needed to find the LCM
There can be no greatest common multiple. If there was one, the number twice as large would also be a common multiple and clearly would be greater.
If it's a whole-number "multiple" and the number itself is positive,then the multiple is always greater than the number itself.
No, that is not true.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM. The lowest multiple of any positive number is the number itself.
Not necessarily. A number is also a multiple of itself.
Not with negative numbers. -10 is a multiple of -2.
The common multiple refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The "common" multiple of a number is itself.
The common multiple refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The "common" multiple of a number is itself.
There is NO greatest common multiple because I can always add another lowest common multiple and get an ever greater number that is a common multiple.
The LCM is the greater number.
No, for any number n greater than zero, the LCM of n and n is n.
The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The least multiple of a number is itself.
