Question

Find the LCM of $4,6$ and $8$ using common multiple method.

Answer 1

Firstly, we will find the multiple of $4,6$ and $8$.

The multiples of $4$ are $4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,....$

Similarly, the multiple of $6$ are $6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,....$

and multiple of $8$ are $8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,....$

Now, we need to find the LCM i.e. Least common multiple. Here the least common multiple of $4,6$ and $8$is $24$.

Hence, LCM of $4,6$ and $8$ is $24$.
