Answer» We need to find the smallest number of flowers that can be put in the vase in groups of 8 or 12. For this first find the LCM of 8 and 12. 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 The LCM of 8 and 12 = 2 × 2 × 2× 3 = 24 24 is the smallest number which is divisible by 8 and 12. Hence, 24 flowers can be put in the vase in groups of 8 or 12. |
