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’s the smallest number that both 4 and 6 divide into without leaving a remainder. While 24 is a common multiple of both 4 and 6, it is not the smallest such number.
