Multiples of 10
Multiples of 10 are what you get when you multiply 10 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 10: the first ten multiples end in 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. The first ten also pair to 110 in five pairs (10 + 100, 20 + 90, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Every multiple shown keeps the even parity of 10 — the column never leaves it. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 100 is just 10 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 10, right here in row 1; with 3: 30 (row 3).
