What is the lcm of 3 and 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation: To find the least common multiple or <em>lcm</em> of 3 and 8, begin by listing multiples of each number.

<em><u>Multiples of 3</u></em>

1 x 3 = 3

2 x 3 = 6

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 3 = 12

5 x 3 = 15

6 x 3 = 18

7 x 3 = 21

8 x 3 = 24

Notice that we skipped 0 x 3 in our list of multiples. That's because 0 x 3 is 0 and our least common multiple can't be 0.

When listing the multiples of 8, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the list of multiples for 3 so that we will notice when we find a least common multiple.

<u><em>Multiples of 8</em></u>

1 x 8 = 8 ← not a multiple of 3

2 x 8 = 16 ← not a multiple of 3

3 x 8 = 24 ← multiple of 3

We can stop here because all other multiples that we find will be greater than 24. So the least common multiple or <em>lcm</em> of 3 and 8 is 24.

What is the f(n) runtime of the following pseudocode: sum = 0 for A = N/2 downto 1 for B = 1 to 4N increment sum by B
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

f(N) = 2+ N/2 + 6N² units of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assigning 0 to the variable sum takes one unit of time.

Each time you increment sum by B, you need to call the value of sum, sum it to B and assign it to sum, which takes three units of time in total. You are repeating this process for each value of B which ranges from 1 to 4n and for each value of A which ranges from 1 to n/2. Opening the FOR takes also another unit of time, so, as a result, we have

f(N) 1 + 1 (open the FOR in A)+ N/2*(1 (open the FOR in B) + 4N*3) = 2+ N/2 + 6N² units of time. It has order complexity O(N²).

Answer:

For the top equation, x = 27 (I think you meant to put x - 27 = 0. If not, I can always edit my answer for you)

For the bottom, x = 3
