Question

I am a number less than 60. Two of my factors are 2 and 7. I am a common multiple of 8 and 14. What number am I? Option 1: 28 Option 2: 42 Option 3: 56 Option 4: 48 (Answer: Option 2)

Answer 1

56

Step-by-step explanation:

28 is not a correct option because it is not a common multiple of 8.

42 is not correct because it is also not a common multiple of 8.

56 is correct option because it has two factors 2 and 7, and is the common multiple of 8 and 14 (8 x 7 = 56, 14 x 4 = 56)

48 is not correct because it is not a common multiple of 14.
