To find two numbers that will give you 32 as their least common multiple (LCM), you need to consider the prime factorization of 32, which is 2^5. To get the LCM, you need to take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in the factorization of 32. Therefore, the two numbers that will give you 32 as their LCM are 2^5 and 1, as any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged.

Two numbers that have a least common multiple (LCM) of 32 are 16 and 8.
The LCM of two consecutive numbers is always the product: 32 times 33=1056 1056=LCM
Since 32 is a multiple of 2, 32 is the least common multiple of 2 and 32
Product of two numbers = LCM x HCF, in this case 360 x 8 ie 2880.Factors of 2880 which differ by 32?40 x 72. Job done
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32 and 42 is 672.
