What is the largest subgroup of Z contained in 10Z and 2Z?

$begingroup$


I know this is really easy but I can't find anything to confirm my answer in any notes and the fact this is 4 marks throws me off.



Is it simply just 2Z? As 10Z is just the integers that are multiples of 10 and 14Z multiples of 14?

The other way around: $10Bbb Zsubset 2Bbb Z$.



In general it would be $operatorname{lcm}(m,n)Bbb Z$ is the largest subgroup of $mBbb Z$ and $nBbb Z$.
