Answer 1

One group of carolers go to every 6th house in a neighborhood

Second group goes to every 8th house.

They will meet at

LCM(6,8) =24th house.

24 is the right answer.

Answer 2

• 24th house

Explanation:

• One group goes to every 6th house
• Second group goes to every 8th house

We need to find LCM of 6 and 8

• LCM(6, 8) = LCM(3*2, 4*2) = 3*2*4 = 24

They will first meet at 24th house
