To find the least common multiple of 6 and 8, first start by listing a few multiples of each number.
First, let's start by listing the multiples of 6.
1 × 6 = 6
2 × 6 = 12
3 × 6 = 18
4 × 6 = 24
Next, let's list the multiples of 8.
1 × 8 = 8
2 × 8 = 16
3 × 8 = 24
We can stop here because all other multiples that we find will be greater than 24. Therefore, the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
