Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 1 and 111:
First 10 Multiples of 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
First 10 Multiples of 111: 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999, 1110
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 111 are 111, 222, 333. Because 111 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 1 and 111 is 111.
