Lowest common multiple

   

L.I: Is to find the lowest common multiple

This week for maths we were learning how to find the lowest common multiple. We first learnt by doing 1 digit by 1 digit and started moving on to even harder questions. This activity was fun because we got to work in a group. The people in my group were Matthew, Giovanni and Ong. The lowest common multiple is when the 2 numbers have the same multiple, that is the lowest. For an example 8 and 6, we know that 8 x 3 and 6 x 4 equals 24 and nothing is lower than 24. To find the lowest common multiple, the easiest way to do so, is to multiply both numbers. If we were to find the lowest common multiple of 4 and 5. We multiply both numbers, which makes 20. There are no lower common multiples than 20. This is a strategy we all found out, from doing the first 3 questions.
