What are the common multiples of 46 and 27?

Common multiples of 46 and 27 are numbers that both 46 and 27 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 46 and 27, we compare the list of multiples of 46 with the list of multiples of 27 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 46, we multiply 46 by 1, 46 by 2, and so on like this:

46 x 1 = 46
46 x 2 = 92
46 x 3 = 138
46 x 4 = 184
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 27, we multiply 27 by 1, 27 by 2, and so on like this:

27 x 1 = 27
27 x 2 = 54
27 x 3 = 81
27 x 4 = 108
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 46 and 27?"

1242, 2484, 3726, 4968, etc.

Since 1242 is the first number they have in common, 1242 is the least common multiple of 46 and 27.

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 1242 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 46 and 27 by simply adding 1242 to the last number on the list.
