Question

Find the smallest value of n such as that the lcm of n and 6 is 12
PROBLEM SOLVING TIP For this Question use the prime factorization method but work back words

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

6=2*3 and n

LCM(6,n)=12

n must be dividend of 12, and in the format of 6k, otherwise LCM will be greater or smaller than 12

The smallest number in the format 6k, greater than 6 but not greater than 12, is 12

Answer is 12
