Must you have a tutor who is specific to your school or address? If not, put your subject in the subject box so a math tutor might see it.
Its not 68 i feel like there is no small number divisible by 17 and 8
What is 17 * 8?
What is the smallest possible number of 17 and 8?
To find the smallest number divisible by both 17 and 8, we need to determine their least common multiple (LCM).
First, let's find the prime factorization of both numbers:
17 is a prime number, so its prime factorization is simply 17.
8 can be written as 2^3, meaning it has a prime factor of 2 raised to the power of 3.
Next, we determine the LCM by taking the highest power of each prime factor. In this case, since 17 is not a factor of 8, the LCM is simply the product of both numbers:
LCM(17, 8) = 17 * 8 = 136
Hence, the smallest number divisible by both 17 and 8 is 136.
