Starting at 8 keep adding 8s and write out the list of numbers.
With 12, start at 12 and keep adding 12s to it and write out that list
Once you see the first number that appears in both lists that's the lowest common multiple. Any other numbers that also appear in both lines of numbers are just common multiples.
What is the least common multiple of 8 and 12?
PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK IF POSSIBLE!
