What are the common multiples of 47 and 82?

Common multiples of 47 and 82 are numbers that both 47 and 82 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 47 and 82, we compare the list of multiples of 47 with the list of multiples of 82 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 47, we multiply 47 by 1, 47 by 2, and so on like this:

47 x 1 = 47
47 x 2 = 94
47 x 3 = 141
47 x 4 = 188
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 82, we multiply 82 by 1, 82 by 2, and so on like this:

82 x 1 = 82
82 x 2 = 164
82 x 3 = 246
82 x 4 = 328
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 47 and 82?"

3854, 7708, 11562, 15416, etc.

Since 3854 is the first number they have in common, 3854 is the least common multiple of 47 and 82.

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 3854 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 47 and 82 by simply adding 3854 to the last number on the list.
