Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find the LCM of 9 and 24 , which comes out to be 72.

Now, for the LCM to become 360, you need a number that is multiple of 5 (times the factors of 72,i.e. 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36 and 72)

5,10,15,20,30,........360

So, the smallest number is 5
