Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 1 and 149:
First 10 Multiples of 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
First 10 Multiples of 149: 149, 298, 447, 596, 745, 894, 1043, 1192, 1341, 1490
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 1 and 149 are 149, 298, 447. Because 149 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 1 and 149 is 149.
