Observing the multiples of each of the previous numbers, answer the
questions that are raised.
What number(s) is a multiple of all the previous numbers?
Is a number a multiple of itself? Will it always happen?
With the previous answers, you can obtain two properties, they are:
Write the multiples of the previous numbers:
M(2) =____________________________________________________________
M(3) =____________________________________________________________
M(4) = ____________________________________________________________
M(5) =____________________________________________________________
M(6) =____________________________________________________________
