The least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24.

The least common multiple of two numbers is the lowest value number that is a multiple of both the numbers. To find the least common multiple of 3 and 8, you first list their multiples:

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24...

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56...

When you compare the two lists of multiples, you can see that the number 24 is the lowest number that is a multiple of both 3 and 8, so it is their LCM, or least common multiple.

a jigsaw puzzle has edge pieces and inside pieces. the ratio 3:22. there are 924 inside pieces. calculate the total number of pi

statuscvo [17]

Okay. So, 924 pieces are inside. Let’s divide to see how many times 22 goes into 924. 924/22 = 42. So now, multiply 3 by 42 to do the same thing the opposite way. The product is 126. There are 126 edge pieces in the puzzle. You can do 126/924 to get the fraction in simplest form to be 3/22. To find the total number of pieces, add both numbers up. The sum of the two numbers is 1,050. There are 1,050 total pieces in the puzzle.
