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.
