Answer:

4th multiple = 24

Explanation:

Given

Let the two numbers be represented by m and n

Required

Find the 4th common multiple of the numbers.

From the question, we understand that the first common multiple of m and n is 6.

This can be represented as:

m * n * 1 = 6

mn = 6

Their fourth common multiple can be represented as: m * n * 4

4th multiple = m * n * 4

4th multiple = 4 * mn

Substitute 6 for mn

4th multiple = 4 * 6

4th multiple = 24

Hence, the 4th multiple of both numbers is 24.
