What are the common multiples of 53 and 1?

Common multiples of 53 and 1 are numbers that both 53 and 1 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 53 and 1, we compare the list of multiples of 53 with the list of multiples of 1 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 53, we multiply 53 by 1, 53 by 2, and so on like this:

53 x 1 = 53
53 x 2 = 106
53 x 3 = 159
53 x 4 = 212
...

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

1 x 1 = 1
1 x 2 = 2
1 x 3 = 3
1 x 4 = 4
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 53 and 1?"

53, 106, 159, 212, etc.

Since 53 is the first number they have in common, 53 is the least common multiple of 53 and 1.

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 53 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 53 and 1 by simply adding 53 to the last number on the list.
