k_lynn · Answer

anonymous · Answer

72 18 goes into 72 4 times and 24 goes into 72 3 times

k_lynn · Answer

actually, what I'm saying is like, you can multiply 3x6 to get 18. Can you multiply 3 or 6 by any other number to get 24?

anonymous · Answer

6x3=18
6x4=24

k_lynn · Answer

right.  So 18 and 24 have a common multiple of 6.  You just need to do this now. |dw:1421414343485:dw|
