Answer 1

`8`

Explanation:

`"one way of finding the LCM is "`

`• " Divide the larger number by the smaller number"`

`• " if it divides exactly then larger number is LCM"`

`• " If not then repeat with multiples of larger number"`

`rArr8-:2" or " 8/2=4larrcolor(red)" exactly"`

`rArr"the LCM of 2 and 8 is " 8`

Answer 2

The LCM of 2 and 8 is 8.

Explanation:

2 can go into 8 and 8 can go into itself! But if the 8 were to be a 9, then 2 can't go into it though 9 can go into itself, so for that equation, it would be 18.
I hope I make sense.
