Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 147 and 1:
First 10 Multiples of 147: 147, 294, 441, 588, 735, 882, 1029, 1176, 1323, 1470
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 147 and 1 are 147, 294, 441. Because 147 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 147 and 1 is 147.
