What are the common multiples of 36 and 49?

Common multiples of 36 and 49 are numbers that both 36 and 49 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 36 and 49, we compare the list of multiples of 36 with the list of multiples of 49 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 36, we multiply 36 by 1, 36 by 2, and so on like this:

36 x 1 = 36
36 x 2 = 72
36 x 3 = 108
36 x 4 = 144
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 49, we multiply 49 by 1, 49 by 2, and so on like this:

49 x 1 = 49
49 x 2 = 98
49 x 3 = 147
49 x 4 = 196
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 36 and 49?"

1764, 3528, 5292, 7056, etc.

Since 1764 is the first number they have in common, 1764 is the least common multiple of 36 and 49.

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 1764 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 36 and 49 by simply adding 1764 to the last number on the list.
