Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 148 and 1:
First 10 Multiples of 148: 148, 296, 444, 592, 740, 888, 1036, 1184, 1332, 1480
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 148 and 1 are 148, 296, 444. Because 148 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
