WHAT DOES LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Least common multiple

In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by LCM, is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define lcm as 0 for all a, which is the result of taking the lcm to be the least upper bound in the lattice of divisibility. The LCM is familiar from grade-school arithmetic as the "least common denominator" that must be determined before fractions can be added, subtracted or compared. The LCM of more than two integers is also well-defined: it is the smallest integer that is divisible by each of them.
