a car owner sets up two alerts on a smartphone. the first alert repeats every 48 days and remind the car owner to check the air pressure in the tyres, The second alert is for checking the oil level and repeats every 64 days. In how many days will the two alerts occur on the same day?

Here, You need to take the lcm of the two :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, Uhmm first you gotta prime factorize both. However to hasten things , i see 16 is common in both, divide 48 and 64 by 16.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get 3 and 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the LCM is Factor common in both * remaining factors ie 16 *3 *4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

192 I suppose?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :-)
