Question

I am a multiple of 6. i am also a multiple of 4. i am less than 30. what am i?

Answer 1

The multiples of 4 and 6 that are less than 30 are 12 and 24.

Given:

I am a multiple of 6. i am also a multiple of 4. i am less than 30. what am i?

To find:

The required number.

Explanation:

• It is given that the required number should be a multiple of 6 and also a multiple of 4 so first, let's see what is a multiple.

what are Multiples :

• Multiples are defined as the result of multiplying a number by an integer.
• For example - 16 is a multiple of 2 and 8 because 2 x 8 = 16 and 8 x 2 = 16
• Here, 16 is called a multiple. 2 and 8 are known as factors.

Now, let's see the multiples of 4 and 6 that are less than 30.

Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28.

Multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30.

• From the above, we can observe that there are only two numbers 12 and 24 that are less than 30.

Hence, The multiples of 4 and 6 that are less than 30 are 12 and 24.
