Samaira writes 6 pages in one hour, Kate writes 12 pages in one hour where as Maggie writes 8 pages in one hour.
What is the minimum number of pages each one has to write in order to write equal number of pages?
We need to find the LCM of 6,12 and 8 in order to find the equal number of pages written by them.
Finding LCM by prime factorisation method
6 = 2 × 3
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
8 = 2 × 2 × 2
LCM will be 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24.
Hence together they will write 24 pages in an hour.
