All the common multiples are multiples of LCM.  First common multiple is LCM itself. The second  common multiple is LCM×2, the 3rd common multiple  is LCM×3 etc.  So the third common multiple here is 144×3=432
$$\mathrm{All}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{multiples}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{multiples}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{LCM}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{First}\:\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{multiple}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{LCM}\:\mathrm{itself}.\:\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{second} \\ $$$$\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{multiple}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{LCM}×\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{3rd}\:\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{multiple} \\ $$$$\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{LCM}×\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{etc}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{So}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{third}\:\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{multiple}\:\mathrm{here}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{144}×\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{432} \\ $$
