Question

1. find the lcm for each pair of numbers.

a. 12 and 36

Explanation:

Step1: Check divisibility

We know that if one number is a multiple of the other, the larger number is the LCM. Check if 36 is a multiple of 12. $36\div12 = 3$, so 36 is a multiple of 12.

Step2: Determine LCM

Since 36 is a multiple of 12, the least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 36 is 36.

Answer:

36
