Question

If the number of apples in a basket is divisible by 8 and 10, what is the smallest number other than 1 that is also divisible by? How do you know?

Answer 1

To find the answer divide each number see which number is the same and that would be your answer

8=2.2.2
10=2.2.2.2.2

The number 2 would be the answer because both numbers have it

Answer 2

factor and find lcm
8=2*2*2
10=2*5
lcm=2*2*2*5=40
answer is 40
I know because of math
