What are the common multiples of 68 and 50?

Common multiples of 68 and 50 are numbers that both 68 and 50 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 68 and 50, we compare the list of multiples of 68 with the list of multiples of 50 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 68, we multiply 68 by 1, 68 by 2, and so on like this:

68 x 1 = 68
68 x 2 = 136
68 x 3 = 204
68 x 4 = 272
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 50, we multiply 50 by 1, 50 by 2, and so on like this:

50 x 1 = 50
50 x 2 = 100
50 x 3 = 150
50 x 4 = 200
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 68 and 50?"

1700, 3400, 5100, 6800, etc.

Since 1700 is the first number they have in common, 1700 is the least common multiple of 68 and 50.

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 1700 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 68 and 50 by simply adding 1700 to the last number on the list.
