What are the Multiples of 1?
Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 76 and 1:
First 10 Multiples of 76: 76, 152, 228, 304, 380, 456, 532, 608, 684, 760
First 10 Multiples of 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
You can continue to list out the multiples of these numbers as long as needed to find a match. Once you do find a match, or several matches, the smallest of these matches would be the Least Common Multiple. For instance, the first matching multiple(s) of 76 and 1 are 76, 152, 228. Because 76 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 76 and 1 is 76.
