Let’s take a look at the first 10 multiples for each of these numbers, 127 and 1:
First 10 Multiples of 127: 127, 254, 381, 508, 635, 762, 889, 1016, 1143, 1270
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 127 and 1 are 127, 254, 381. Because 127 is the smallest, it is the least common multiple.
The LCM of 127 and 1 is 127.
