Question

in a class there are 24 boys and 20 girls determine the minimum number of books that can be distributed equally among boys or girls ( hint : LCM) EPLAIN WITH STEPS AND LCM

Answer 1

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of boys in the class = 24

No. of girls in the class = 20

LCM of (24,20)

24 = 2×2×2x3= $2^{3}$x3

20 = 2x2x5= $2^{2}$x5

Therefore LCM = $2^{3}$x3x5= 120

So, maximum no. of books that can be distributed equally  among boys and girls is 120

Answer 2

because of taking the procedure the answer will be 44
