What are the common multiples of 89 and 17?

Common multiples of 89 and 17 are numbers that both 89 and 17 can be divided into evenly with no remainder.

To find the common multiples of 89 and 17, we compare the list of multiples of 89 with the list of multiples of 17 to see what they have in common.

To create a list of multiples of 89, we multiply 89 by 1, 89 by 2, and so on like this:

89 x 1 = 89
89 x 2 = 178
89 x 3 = 267
89 x 4 = 356
...

Similarly, to create a list of multiples of 17, we multiply 17 by 1, 17 by 2, and so on like this:

17 x 1 = 17
17 x 2 = 34
17 x 3 = 51
17 x 4 = 68
...

When we compare the two lists to see what they have in common, we get the answer to "What are the common multiples of 89 and 17?"

1513, 3026, 4539, 6052, etc.

Since 1513 is the first number they have in common, 1513 is the least common multiple of 89 and 17.

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 1513 (the least common multiple), so you can continue the green list above with more common multiples of 89 and 17 by simply adding 1513 to the last number on the list.
