Find least common multiple of 8 and 12
To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12, we can list the multiples of each number and find the smallest multiple that is common to both sets.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, ...
Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, ...
From the lists, we can see that the smallest multiple common to both 8 and 12 is 24.
Therefore, the LCM of 8 and 12 is 24.
