We are given that :

The first five multiples for the numbers 4 and 6 are shown below.

$\text{ Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, . . . }\\\\\text{Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, . . . }$

We can see that from the multiples of 4 and 6 , the least common multiple of 4 and 6 =12 such that 12 is divisible by 4 and 6 .
