Because 24 is the lowest (least) number that both six and eight divide into evenly.
Lowest Common Multiple of 8 and 12To find the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple), list the multiples of each number. The first one that is the same for both numbers is the LCM. 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 4812, 24...24 is the LCM of 8 and 12.24
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that two or more numbers will divide into evenly. The number 216 is the lowest number that both 24 and 108 will go into evenly.
The lowest common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24
The lowest common multiple of 24 and 72 is 72.
24
a single number cannot have a least common multiple. a least common multiple is the lowest number that 2 different numbers can mulitply in to. for example, the least common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24. this is because 24 is the lowest number that both 8 and 6 can go in to. if you meant the least common multiple of 7 and 2, then the least common multiple of 7 and 2 is 14.
As 8 and 6 are both factors of the number, we want the lowest common multiple of 6 and 8 which is 24. There are at least 24 kids. (The number of kids is a multiple of 24.)
LCM(6, 8) = 24
24 is.
There is no number higher than 24 that goes into 24, much less the both of them. The lowest number that 18 and 24 go into is 72.
The lowest common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24
