L.I: How to identify the lowest common multiple.

Lowest Common Multiple is a method used in math to find the lowest common multiple between 2 numbers. To be able to identify the lowest common multiple, you should already know your times tables because it involves using the multiples of numbers. For example, to find the lowest common multiple between 14 and 56, you would have to list the multiples of both numbers, in this case 14 and 56. The multiples of 14 are 14, 28, 42, 56 … and the multiples of 56 are 56, 112, and 168. As you can see, the lowest common multiple between 14 and 56 is 56.

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt what the lowest common multiple is, and how to identify the lowest common multiple between 2 numbers.
