What are the common multiples of 45 and 26?

Common multiples of 45 and 26 are numbers that both 45 and 26 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 45 and 26, we compare the list of multiples of 45 with the list of multiples of 26 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 45, we multiply 45 by 1, 45 by 2, and so on like this:

45 x 1 = 45
45 x 2 = 90
45 x 3 = 135
45 x 4 = 180
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 26, we multiply 26 by 1, 26 by 2, and so on like this:

26 x 1 = 26
26 x 2 = 52
26 x 3 = 78
26 x 4 = 104
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 45 and 26?"

1170, 2340, 3510, 4680, etc.

Since 1170 is the first number they have in common, 1170 is the least common multiple of 45 and 26.

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 1170 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 45 and 26 by simply adding 1170 to the last number on the list.
