Question

The number of students who attend a school could be divided among 10, 12, or 16 buses, such that each bus transports an equal number of students. What is the minimum number of students that could attend the school

Answer 1

240 students

Explanation:

Least common multiple:

To find the minimum number of students, we have to find the LCM of 10, 12, 16

10 = 2 * 5

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

LCM = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

= 240
