LCM( 4, 6, 4, 8 ) = 24
Write down multiples of each number until you find the first common multiple:
The multipliers of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, . . .
The multipliers of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, . . .
The multipliers of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, . . .
The multipliers of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, . . .
We can see that:
