Question #d0ef6

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

The least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers, is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both numbers.

In this case 2 is indivisible, and 8 is divisible by 2, so the LCM is 2.

Answer 2

LCM `=8`

Explanation:

write down the multiples of each number and then pick out the common ones and hence the LCM

multiples of `2:{2,4,6,color(red)(8),10,12,14,color(red)(16),18,20,22,color(red)(24),26,....}`

multiples of `8:{color(red)(8,16,24,.....)}`

common multiples `{ 8,16,24...)}`

LCM `=8`
