2 15 25

3 4 6 8

4 6 9

5 18 24 12

Solution

It seems like you're asking for the common multiples of numbers in each row, though the formatting is a bit unclear. Based on the given data, I'll assume each row represents a set of numbers, and you want to find the common multiples for each set. Here's the interpretation:

1st set: 1, 5, 7
2nd set: 2, 15, 25
3rd set: 3, 4, 6, 8
4th set: 4, 6, 9
5th set: 5, 18, 24, 12

Approach:

To find the common multiples of the numbers in each set, we'll:

  1. Identify the least common multiple (LCM) of each set.
  2. The common multiples will then be the integer multiples of the LCM.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1st Set: 1, 5, 7

  • The LCM of 1, 5, and 7 is 35.
  • The common multiples of 1, 5, and 7 will be the multiples of 35: 35,70,105,140,175,35, 70, 105, 140, 175, \dots

2nd Set: 2, 15, 25

  • The LCM of 2, 15, and 25 is 150.
  • The common multiples of 2, 15, and 25 will be the multiples of 150: 150,300,450,600,750,150, 300, 450, 600, 750, \dots

3rd Set: 3, 4, 6, 8

  • The LCM of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24.
  • The common multiples of 3, 4, 6, and 8 will be the multiples of 24: 24,48,72,96,120,24, 48, 72, 96, 120, \dots

4th Set: 4, 6, 9

  • The LCM of 4, 6, and 9 is 36.
  • The common multiples of 4, 6, and 9 will be the multiples of 36: 36,72,108,144,180,36, 72, 108, 144, 180, \dots

5th Set: 5, 18, 24, 12

  • The LCM of 5, 18, 24, and 12 is 360.
  • The common multiples of 5, 18, 24, and 12 will be the multiples of 360: 360,720,1080,1440,1800,360, 720, 1080, 1440, 1800, \dots

Summary:

  • For the first set: Common multiples are multiples of 35.
  • For the second set: Common multiples are multiples of 150.
  • For the third set: Common multiples are multiples of 24.
  • For the fourth set: Common multiples are multiples of 36.
  • For the fifth set: Common multiples are multiples of 360.
