Answer:

24

Explanation:

LCM is finding the lowest common denominator, the smallest number that can be a common denominator for a set of fractions, therefore:

2/8 and 5/24

8 : 8 , 16 , 24 , 36

24 : 24 , 48 , 72 , 96

As we can see, the smallest number being the same is 24, therefore the LCM is 24
