Question

whats my test mean by Match the two numbers with their least common multiple (LCM). MatchTermDefinition 8 and 4A) 40 8 and 6B) 24 8 and 10C) 8

Answer 1

LCM of 8 and 10 = 40 ((option C)

LCM of 8 and 4 = 8 (option B)

LCM of 8 and 6 = 24 (option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

We find each of the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers then we match the result.

We pick the common numbers in both. Then multiplied by other numbers not common to both

8 = 2 × 2 × 2

4 = 2 × 2

LCM of 8 and 4 = 2×2×2

LCM of 8 and 4 = 8 (option B)

8 = 2 × 2 × 2

6 = 2 × 3

LCM of 8 and 6 = 2×2×2×3

LCM of 8 and 6 = 24 (option A)

8 = 2 × 2 × 2

10 = 2 × 5

LCM of 8 and 10 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5

LCM of 8 and 10 = 40 ((option C)
