Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
first you need to find the prime factors of the three numbers
ex:
prime factor of 18= 
prime of 24=
there is one 2 and one 3 in common
greatest common multiple 2*3=6
so the greatest common multiple is ten because it is the only one that can divide between all three evenly.

so 10 is your answer
<u>40 is shown 3 times, 41 is shown 3 times, 42 is shown 3 times, and 43 is shown 3 times. </u>
I would put as the answer that <u>all the numbers are equally shown the same amount of times. </u>
Base case: For
, the left side is 2 and the right is
, so the base case holds.
Induction hypothesis: Assume the statement is true for
, that is

We want to show that this implies truth for
, that

The first
terms on the left reduce according to the assumption above, and we can simplify the
-th term a bit:


so the statement is true for all
