Answer 1

the answer is 40

Answer 2

The least common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40. How?

Step 1: List out the multiples of 5 and 8.

(Ex:

5- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, etc.

8- 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, etc.)

Look for a number that is the same on both of your lists. You should have gotten 40! If you are solving a different problem and you find more than one number on your list so far, pick the smallest number.
