Answer 2

Given data,

The given numbers are $48,12,8,16,4$

In order to find the LCM of given numbers, first we have to find the prime factors of given numbers.

The prime factors of $48=2\times 2\times2\times2\times3$

The prime factors of $12=2\times2\times3$

The prime factors of $8=2\times2\times2$

The prime factors of $16=2\times2\times2\times2$

The prime factors of $4=2\times2$

We have to multiply the prime factors which are repeated once and all the other prime factors.

LCM of  $48,12,8,16,4$ is $2\times2\times2\times2\times3$

LCM of  $48,12,8,16,4$ is $48$

Therefore, LCM of $62,44$ is $48$.
