Find the LCM of the following numbers in which one number is the factor of the other.
$$12, 48$$
What do you observe in the results obtained?
LCM$$=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3=48$$
Yes, it can be observed that in this case, the LCM of the given numbers is the larger number. When one number is a factor of the other number, their LCM will be the larger number.
$$2$$ $$|\underline{12, 48}$$
$$2$$ $$|\underline{6, 24}$$
$$2$$ $$|\underline{3, 12}$$
$$2$$ $$|\underline{3, 6}$$
$$3$$ $$|\underline{3, 3}$$
$$1, 1$$
