What are the common multiples of 12 and 25?

Common multiples of 12 and 25 are numbers that both 12 and 25 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 12 and 25, we compare the list of multiples of 12 with the list of multiples of 25 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 12, we multiply 12 by 1, 12 by 2, and so on like this:

12 x 1 = 12
12 x 2 = 24
12 x 3 = 36
12 x 4 = 48
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 25, we multiply 25 by 1, 25 by 2, and so on like this:

25 x 1 = 25
25 x 2 = 50
25 x 3 = 75
25 x 4 = 100
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 12 and 25?"

300, 600, 900, 1200, etc.

Since 300 is the first number they have in common, 300 is the least common multiple of 12 and 25.

Note: Our lists are shortened because they go on forever, but can you see the pattern when you look at the answer in green above? The common multiples are in intervals of 300 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 12 and 25 by simply adding 300 to the last number on the list.
