Answer 2

Hey dear here is your answer!!!!!

___________________________

To find out the LCM of the numbers above write them down in form of their factors:-

12 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 = 2² x 3¹

48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 = 2⁴ x 3¹

96 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 = 2⁵ x 3¹

The rules for find the LCM states that we take up the number in common with the highest power and multiply them which would be 2⁵ x 3¹.

Multiplying them gives us -

=2⁵ x 3¹

= 32 x 3

= 96

Therefore, 96 is the LCM !
