Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes, 1 and 6 count too so the factors of 6 are 1,2,3, and 6 now list the factors of 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2,4,8

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

oh whoops, hold on, we need to multiples not factors >_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the multiples of 6 are: 6,12,18,24... the multiples of 8 are: 8,16,24... so 24 is the least number that appears in both lists

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so your LCD is 24
