The two numbers (12 and 16) share many common multiples if you keep expanding on the lists of multiples. But from comparing the two lists, we can see that 48 is the lowest, or least common muliple.

['Since the only number that 7 and 9 go into evenly is 63 we must consider this simple step:', 'A least common multiple is the smallest unit that both numbers can evenly be divided by. Since you can evenly divide 63 by both 7 and 9 the following is true:', '63 is the least common multiple of 7 and 9 .']

Lowest Common Multiple. The smallest common multiple of two or more numbers is called the lowest common multiple (LCM). E.g. Multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, … Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, …

Example: Find the least common multiple of 4, 6, and 8 Multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ... Multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, .... So 24 is the least common multiple (I can't find a smaller one!) Hint: We can have smaller lists for the bigger numbers.

The prime factors of 4 are 2 and 2, the prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. So the least common multiple will be the maximum number of factors of 2 (that's two) and the maximum number of factors of 3 (that's one). So it is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12. For a harder example, consider 84 and 315.
