Answer:
The LCM of 9, 12, and 24, is <em>72. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer you must figure out the factors of <em>each number</em>, and see which factor has the <em>same number.</em>
<u><em>Factors of 9: </em></u> <u><em>Factors of 12:</em></u><em> </em><u><em>Factors of 24: </em></u>
<em> 9 12 24</em>
<em> 18 24 48</em>
<em> 27 36 72</em>
<em> 36 48</em>
<em> 45 60</em>
<em> 54 72</em>
<em> 63</em>
<em> 72</em>
When we look at all these factors, none of them have the same number <em>except 72.</em> Since <em>all</em> of these factors have <em>72 in them</em>, this is the<em> </em>LCM of 9, 12, and 24.
