Multiple

of a natural number $n$

A natural number that is divisible by $n$ without remainder (cf. Division). A number $n$ divisible by each of the numbers $a,b,\ldots,m$ is called a common multiple of these numbers. Among all common multiples of two or more numbers, one (distinct from zero) is the smallest (the lowest common multiple) and the others are then multiples of the lowest common multiple. If the greatest common divisor $d$ of two numbers $a$ and $b$ is known, the lowest common multiple $m$ is found from the formula $m = ab/d$.
