Aram says that the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 24. Which is true about Aram’s statement?
24 is a common multiple, but not the least common multiple.
24 is the least common multiple.
24 is not a common multiple of 4 and 6.
24 is also the greatest common factor.
Aram’s statement is incorrect. The correct answer is: 24 is a common multiple, but not the least common multiple.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is actually 12, since it is the smallest number that both 4 and 6 can divide evenly into. While 24 is indeed a common multiple, it is not the least, as 12 is smaller and meets the criteria.
