Answer 2

Consider the provided information.

The LCM of 48 and *6 is 144.

First, find the prime factorization of the number 48 and 144

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Since 48 has only one factor 3 and 144 has 2 factors of 3.

That means prime factorization should have two 3.

The possible case is 36.

Because 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Hence, 3 can replace *.
