Least Common Multiple/Length
LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE The least common multiple of two or more counting numbers is the smallest counting numbers which is a multiple of each of the counting numbers. Example: What are some multiples of both 4 and 6? Set of multiples of 4 = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32,. . .} Set of multiples of 6 = {6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36,. . .}
12 is multiple of both 4 and 6. Another multiple of both 4 and 6 is 24. Therefore, 12 and 24 are called common multiples of 4 and 6. 12 is the Least Common Multiple (LCM).
LENGTH The distance from one end to the other end. Long represents how long something is from the beginning to the end. Endpoint to endpoint.
