Answer:
c)360
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common multiples is the <em>smallest common multiple. </em>
To find the common multiple you have to divide the option given by the numbers: 20, 24, and 45 and result of each operation should be<em> an integer number. </em>
Let's review why answers a) and b) are not common multiple.
<u>Answer a) 30 </u>
45 ÷ 30= 1,5 .<em> </em>
<em>1.5 is not integer number</em> ,So, 30 is not multiple of 45.
Answer b)180
180 ÷ 24= 7.5
<em>7.5 is not integer number</em>, So, 180 is not multiple of 24.
c) If you divide 20, 24 and 45 divided 360, the result is an integer.
360÷20=18
360÷24=15
360÷45=8
360 is common multiple of the three numbers. And it is the LCM.
