The lowest common multiple (or LCM) is the smallest common number between two numbers without a remainder. Here’s a way to find out
What is the lowest common multiple?
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest whole number which is a multiple of both. A quick reminder, a multiple is a number that can be divided by another number a certain number of times without a remainder.
One of the basic rules to finding the LCM is to list the multiples of the larger number and stop when you get to a multiple of the smaller number. For example:
What is the LCM of 3 and 8?
Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 and so on.
Multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and so on.
So the LCM of 3 and 8 is 24.
But what if you have a group of three or more numbers? For example:
What is the LCM of 6, 15 and 20?
Start writing out the multiples like this:
– Multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
– Multiples of 15 are 15, 30, 45, 60
– Multiples of 20 are 20, 40, 60, 80
• Both 6 and 15 have multiples of 30, however 20 cannot have a multiple of 30. Both 15 and 20 have a multiple of 60. We know that 6 also has a multiple of 60, because 6 x 10 = 60.
• Because 60 is the only multiple all three numbers have in common, 60 is the lowest common multiple of the three numbers.
Here’s a few for you to try to get the hang of finding the LCM of two or more numbers:
Remember these do’s and dont’s when you go back out into the real world after the stir caused by a virus outbreak. Are these statements true or false?

It is time to decipher some more coded messages. Grab a pencil and paper and read on to get started!
Are you ready to write coded messages? The following codes have names of popular characters from fiction written in them. Unscramble the name by first noting down every letter in the odd position (that is, the 1st, 3rd, 5th letter and so on), and then the letters in the even position (that is, the 2nd, 4th, 6th letter and so on).
