what multiplication fact could you use to find a number that can be divided equally by 8 and 9?
8*9=72
72 can be divided equally by 8 and 9
Look at a multiplication table.
To find a number that can be divided equally by both 8 and 9, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of these two numbers.
To find the LCM, we can start by listing the multiples of each number and find the smallest multiple that they have in common.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, ...
Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, ...
Looking at the multiples, we can see that the smallest multiple they have in common is 72. Therefore, the number that can be divided equally by both 8 and 9 is 72.
To check if 72 is divisible by 8 and 9, we can divide it by each number:
72 ÷ 8 = 9
72 ÷ 9 = 8
Both divisions result in whole numbers, indicating that 72 can indeed be divided equally by 8 and 9.
