Hello there!

We are trying to find the LCM, or "Least Common Multiple", of 3 and 8

What this means is that we need to find the least number that both numbers can get to.

Lets write out the multiples for each number:

3: 8:

3 16

6 24 < --- 8 has a multiple of 24

9 32

12 40

15

18

21

24 <---- 3 has a multiple of 24

27

30

You would notice that both numbers can make 24.

This means that the LCM of 3 and 4 is 24

Answer: 24

I hope this helps!

Best regards,
