Answer: 360

Explanation:

LCM is least common multiple. In other words, what number is divisible by 24, 36, and 60?

Factor each term. See what they have in common and then multiply the common term by all of the leftovers.

24 36 60

∧ ∧ ∧

12 2 12 3 12 5

They all have a 12 in common. The leftovers are 2, 3, & 5.

So, the LCM is 12 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 360
