LCM is least common multiple, so start by factoring 24.
24's factors are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
So two of these numbers have to have a HCF (or highest common factor) of 2 to be the answer.
You can rule out 1 and 3 because 2 isn't a factor. Then start listing out the multiples. Remember that 24 has to be the lowest multiple the two numbers have in common.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
6, 12, 18, 24
8, 16, 24
12, 24
24
6 and 8 OR 8 and 12 OR 12 and 24 are the two here whose least common multiple is 24. But 6 and 8 are the only pair whose HCF is 2.
16 and 24
The HCF of 48 and 72 is 24. The LCM is 144.
24 and 36
12 and 8
6 & 8
If there are only two numbers, then 6 and 8
hcf or gcf. first write the numbers the number can be multiplied to get it,you will have more than one or two numbers and when you see you have the number in a row then look for the highest number in all row .LCM do same as hcf but the numbers you got just multiply.try 2,4,16,24,48 you must get for LCM get 144 and for hcf or gcf you must get 24.
You need at least two numbers to find an HCF.
In these types of problems, the numbers can also be the answer. 6 and 72 have a GCF of 6 and an LCM of 72. Since the product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers is the same as the product of the numbers, you could also use another factor pair of 432, like 18 and 24.
If the GCF of two numbers is 12 and the LCM is 24, the two numbers are 12 and 24.
The LCM of 54 and 24 is 216.The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 54 24 is 216factoring24=2*2*2*354=2*3*3*3so LCM =2*2*2*3*3*3=216
24 42
The HCF of the given two numbers is 24
24 and 48 have a GCF of 24 and an LCM of 48.
The GCF is 3. The LCM is 120.
12 and 24 have an LCM of 24. There are many other possibilities.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
