Multiples of 20
Multiples of 20 are what you get when you multiply 20 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 20: the first ten multiples end in 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. The first ten also pair to 220 in five pairs (20 + 200, 40 + 180, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Every multiple shown keeps the even parity of 20 — the column never leaves it. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 200 is just 20 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 20, right here in row 1; with 3: 60 (row 3).
