Hi,
What is the LCM of 84 and 48?
Could you show the steps as well please!? Thank You!
One way as follows:
Multiples of 48:
48 96 144 192 240 288 336 384
Multiples of 84:
84 168 252 336
So 336 is the lowest common multiple (or least common multiple).
An alternative way is to start with the prime factors of each number:
Prime factors of 48: 24, 3
Prime factors of 84: 22, 3, 7
Take the largest occurrence of each prime factor and multiply them together: 24*3*7 = 336
