Number of pens in each pack = 8
number of notepads in each pack = 12
therefore the least number of each item one should buy = LCM of 8 and 12
8=2*2*2
12=2*2*3
therefore LCM = 2*2*2*3
= 24
number of notepads in each pack = 12
therefore the least number of each item one should buy = LCM of 8 and 12
8=2*2*2
12=2*2*3
therefore LCM = 2*2*2*3
= 24
