Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 117 and 1:
First 10 Multiples of 117: 117, 234, 351, 468, 585, 702, 819, 936, 1053, 1170
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 117 and 1 are 117, 234, 351. Because 117 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 117 and 1 is 117.
