What are the common multiples of 55 and 97?

Common multiples of 55 and 97 are numbers that both 55 and 97 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 55 and 97, we compare the list of multiples of 55 with the list of multiples of 97 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 55, we multiply 55 by 1, 55 by 2, and so on like this:

55 x 1 = 55
55 x 2 = 110
55 x 3 = 165
55 x 4 = 220
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 97, we multiply 97 by 1, 97 by 2, and so on like this:

97 x 1 = 97
97 x 2 = 194
97 x 3 = 291
97 x 4 = 388
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 55 and 97?"

5335, 10670, 16005, 21340, etc.

Since 5335 is the first number they have in common, 5335 is the least common multiple of 55 and 97.

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 5335 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 55 and 97 by simply adding 5335 to the last number on the list.
