Answer 1

Answer:

i hope it helps if yes please mark as brainliest and say thanks

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question we need to find the LCM

But for finding the LCM we  first have to find the first 5 multiples of 12 and 9.

 12, 24, 36, 48, 60. are the first 5 multiples of 12

 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 are the first five multiples of 9

To find the LCM we always have to find a number present in the tables of both the numbers

so the number present in both 12 and 9 are 36

as 12 * 3 = 36 AND

as 9 * 4 = 36
