Question

Omar says that the least common multiple of 9 and 6 is 54. Which is true about Omar's statement?

A.54 is not a common multiple of 6 and 9

B.54 is the least common multiple.

C.54 is a common multiple, but not the least common multiple.

D.54 is also the greatest common factor.

Answer 1

Answer: c

Step-by-step explanation: while 9X6 does equal 54 it is not the least common multiple considering they both multiply into the number 18

Answer 2

Hey there!

Let's pull out the multiples of each number and see which ones fall in line first.

9,18

6,12,18

The LCM is 18. Therefore, answer B and D are incorrect. A is incorrect because 9 * 6 is 54. Therefore, the answer is C.

I hope this helps!
