What is the least common multiple of 24 and 48?

Answer 1

The least common multiple of 24 and 48 is 48.

You can determine this by looking at the multiples of each number individually and seeing when they match:

24: 24, 48

48: 48
48.
48 is.
Since 48 is a multiple of 24, it is automatically the LCM.

Answer 2

There is only one "least common multiple" for any set of numbers; the plural is inappropriate here. If, as here, the larger number is the multiple of the other, then that larger number is the least common multiple.
