A factory is to pack pencils in boxes of 8 and 10 pieces. What is the smallest number of pencils that can be packed using the boxes.*

6 answers

Prime factors of 8:

8 = 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2

Primes factors of 10:

10 = 5 ∙ 2

If you multiply them all together:

2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 5 ∙ 2 = 8 ∙ 10 = 80.

80 is the smallest number of pencils that can be packed using the boxes.
LCM(8,10) = 40
