Question

During November, Lilly will water her flowers every fourth day and her trees every eleventh day. On which day will lily first water her flowers and trees together?

Answer 1

On
`44^(th)` day lily will first water her flower and trees together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lilly waters her flowers every 4th day and her trees every 11th day

So the first day when she will water flower and trees together is the LCM of 4 and 11.

LCM is the Least Common Multiple of the given numbers.

`Factors of 4 = 2* 2* 1`

`Factors of 11 = 1* 11`

So here the LCM of 4 and 11 is
`2*2*\ 11 =44`

So the first day will be on
`44^(th)` day (after 1 month 14 days).
