Least Common Multiple

How do we find out the smallest common multiple?
- According to the definition, the smallest common multiple, other than zero, of a series of natural numbers is the smallest number to be divided by the numbers (that is, the smallest number that is divided exactly by the numbers).
To better understand following you may find an example.
The smallest common multiple (other than zero) of the numbers 5 and 6 is 30.

A way to find out this number can be done by writing the set of multiples of each number, until we find the first common multiple, as in the example below:
- M5 = {0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30...}
- M6 = {0, 6, 12, 18, 24,30...}
