Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 124 and 1:
First 10 Multiples of 124: 124, 248, 372, 496, 620, 744, 868, 992, 1116, 1240
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 124 and 1 are 124, 248, 372. Because 124 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 124 and 1 is 124.
