What Is The Least Common Multiple Of 24 And 36?

72 is the smallest number divisible by both 24 and 36.

The answer is 72 because 36 times 2=72 and 24 times 3 =72

First Find the factors of both 24 and 36....24-factors are 2&12.. 2&6...2&3....36-factors are 2&18..2&9...3&3...To find the LCM first match up the prime numbers that are on both 24 and 36. Like this 24=2x2x2x3...36=2x2x3x3..... Pair them up you get 2x2x3=12 this is the highest common factor. To find LCM you times the HCF by the numbers that are remaining which are 2 and 3...So LCM= HCF (12)x2x3= 72

The answer is twelve the multiples of 24 are 24, 12, 8, 6 the multiples of 36 are36, 18, 12, 9

72

LCM(24,36)= 24x36/GCD(24,36)  
  =864/12  
  =72
    GCD is greatest common divisor  
    GCD of 24 and 36 is 12

72

I believe it would be one or two I think one but I am not sure I you  are looking for the largest I believe it would be 12

72

72 cause 2*2*2*3*3

24=2X2X2X3
36=2x2     X3X3
------
  2X2X2X3X3 =72

24 = 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

36 = 1,2,3,4,6,9,12, 18, 36

The answer would be 8. =]

24: 12 36: 12, 2
