6. When one number is a multiple of the other number, that would make the first number the LCM. For example if your first number is 14 and the second number is 2, their first common multiple would be when 2 gets to 14. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14. 14 would be the first time the numbers are equal
5. The first thing to do to find out if 8 is a multiple of 56 is to divide 56 by 8 and see if it comes out to a whole number. 56/8=7 Since 7 is whole, 56 would be the LCM of 56 and 8. 8, 16, 24, 32, 42, 48, 56
