A community was given 18 sheep,12 cows and 36 goats by an Agricultural Cooperative. Find the least number of the community members that could share the animals equally
To find the least number of community members that could share the animals equally, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the total number of animals (18 sheep + 12 cows + 36 goats = 66).
Prime factorize 66:
66 = 2 * 3 * 11
Therefore, the least number of community members that could share the animals equally is 66.
