Answer 2

Answer:

LCM ( 12 , 20, 48 ) = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the smallest number which when divided by 12, 20, 48 separately leaves no remainder.

Which means 12, 20, 48 are the divisors. We need to find the dividend.

Dividend can be found by finding the

LCM ( 12 , 20, 48 )

Taking common factors out,

2 ÷ ( 12 , 20, 48 )

2 ÷ ( 6, 10, 24 )

3 ÷ ( 3, 5, 12 )

( 1, 5, 4 )

4 = 2 × 2

So the LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 2 × 2

= 240
