What is the LCM of 6 and 8?
A: 4
B: 12
C: 24
D: 60
The prime factorization of 6 is 2 * 3.
The prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2.
The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is divisible by both 6 and 8.
We can find the LCM by taking the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number.
Therefore, the LCM of 6 and 8 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 24.
Answer: C: 24
