Question

You're planning a BBQ to celebrate your friend's birthday. if hot dogs come in packs of 8,and buns come in packs of 12,what is the least amount of packs of hotdogs and packs of buns that you would have the same amount if both?

Answer 1

24 because the lowest common multiple is 24

Answer 2

So for this we have to find a number both can fit into. Let's list multiples of both numbers to find it.

8, 16, 24, 32, 40

12, 24, 36, 48

Looks like 24. The answer is 24.
