five common multiples of 12 and 16

To find the common multiples of 12 and 16, we can find the multiples of each number and look for the numbers they have in common.

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180, ...

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240, ...

The common multiples of 12 and 16 are: 48, 96, 144, 192, 240.

To find the common multiples of two numbers, 12 and 16 in this case, we can start by listing out their multiples and finding the ones that are common to both numbers.

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, ...

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, ...

By comparing the two lists, we can identify the common multiples:

Common multiples of 12 and 16: 48, 96, ...

So, the five common multiples of 12 and 16 are: 48, 96, 144, 192, and 240.

To find the common multiples of 12 and 16, we'll first list the multiples of each number and then find the numbers that appear in both lists.

Multiples of 12:
12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, ...

Multiples of 16:
16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, ...

Looking at both lists, we can see that the numbers 48 and 96 are multiples of both 12 and 16. To find more common multiples, we can continue listing the multiples and see which numbers appear in both lists:

Multiples of 12:
12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, ...

Multiples of 16:
16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, ...

From the above lists, we can identify three more common multiples: 48, 96, and 144.

Therefore, the five common multiples of 12 and 16 are: 48, 96, 144, 192, and so on.
