What are the common multiples of 43 and 59?

Common multiples of 43 and 59 are numbers that both 43 and 59 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 43 and 59, we compare the list of multiples of 43 with the list of multiples of 59 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 43, we multiply 43 by 1, 43 by 2, and so on like this:

43 x 1 = 43
43 x 2 = 86
43 x 3 = 129
43 x 4 = 172
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 59, we multiply 59 by 1, 59 by 2, and so on like this:

59 x 1 = 59
59 x 2 = 118
59 x 3 = 177
59 x 4 = 236
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 43 and 59?"

2537, 5074, 7611, 10148, etc.

Since 2537 is the first number they have in common, 2537 is the least common multiple of 43 and 59.

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 2537 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 43 and 59 by simply adding 2537 to the last number on the list.
