  • Arjay is planning a barbecue. He is at the store to buy hot dogs and hot dog buns. The hot dogs come in packs of 8 while the buns come in packs of 6. At least how many packages of each should he buy to have the same number of hot dogs and buns?
    ::Arjay正在计划烧烤。他正在商店买热狗和热狗面包。热狗在8号包里,面包在6号包里。至少每人要买多少个包,才能有同样数量的热狗和面包?

    In this concept, you will learn to find the least   of numbers by using lists.
    ::在此概念中,您可以通过使用列表来学习如何找到最小的数字 。

    Finding the Least Common Multiple Using Lists
    ::查找最小通用多用途名单

    Common multiples  are multiples that two or more numbers have in common. The  least common multiple  (LCM) is the smallest  multiple  that two numbers have in common.
    ::常见倍数是两个或两个以上数字共有的倍数。最小常见倍数(LCM)是两个数字共有的最小倍数。

    Let’s look back at the common multiples for 3 and 4.
    ::让我们回顾一下3和4的常见倍数。

    3, 6, 9,  12 , 15, 18, 21,  24 , 27, 30, 33,  36

    4, 8,  12 , 16, 20,  24 , 28, 32,  36 , 40, 44, 48

    Some of the common multiples of 3 and 4 are 12, 24 and 36. The  LCM  of these two numbers is 12. It is the smallest number that they both have in common.
    ::3号和4号的常见乘数中,有些是12号、24号和36号,这两个数字的LCM是12号,这是它们共有的最小的数字。

    To find the LCM, list the multiples of the two numbers. Stop when you have found the first  common multiple .
    ::要找到 LCM, 请列出两个数字的多个。 找到第一个常见的多个时停止 。

    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Arjay on his shopping trip.
    ::早些时候,你在Arjay的购物旅行中 遇到一个问题

    Arjay wants to know at least how many packages of 8 hot dogs and 6 hot dog buns he needs to buy to get the same  amount  of each. Find the LCM of 8 and 6 to find the number of packages for each.
    ::Arjay想知道至少他要买多少套8个热狗和6个热狗包才能买到每套8个热狗和6个热狗包。 找到8个和6个的LCM来找到每个包的数量。

    First, list the multiples of both 8 and 6. Stop at the first common multiple.
    ::首先,列出8和6的倍数。 停止在第一个常见的倍数。

    8 = 8, 16,  24 , 32

    6 = 6, 12, 18,  24

    The LCM of 8 and 6 is 24.
    ::8和6的LCM为24。

    Then, find number of packages of hot dogs and buns needed to make 24 hotdogs.
    ::然后,找到做24只热狗所需的热狗和面包包的数量。

    24 ÷ 8 = 3

    24 ÷ 6 = 4

    Arjay must buy 3 packages of hotdogs and 4 packages of hotdog buns to get the same number of each.
    ::Arjay必须买三包热狗和四包热狗包,

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Find the LCM of 20 and 15.
    ::查找20和15的LCM。

    First, list out the multiples of both 20 and 15. Stop at the first common multiple.
    ::首先,列出20和15的倍数。 停止第一个常见倍数 。

    20 = 20, 40,  60 , 80, 100

    15 = 30, 45,  60

    The LCM of 20 and 15 is 60.
    ::20个和15个的LCM为60个。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Find the LCM of the pair of numbers.
    ::找到对数字的 LCM。

    5 and 3
    ::5和3

    First, list the multiples of both 5 and 3. Stop at the first common multiple.
    ::首先,列出5和3的倍数。 停止第一个常见的倍数 。

    5 = 5, 10,  15 , 20, 25

    3 = 3 6, 9, 12,  15

    The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
    ::5和3的LCM为15。

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Find the LCM of the pair of numbers.
    ::找到对数字的 LCM。

    2 and 6
    ::2和6

    First, list the multiples of both 2 and 6. Stop at the first common multiple.
    ::首先,列出2号和6号的倍数。 停止在第一个常见倍数处。

    2 = 2, 4,  6 , 8

    6 =  6

    The LCM of 2 and 6 is 6.
    ::2和6的LCM为6。

    Example 5
    ::例5
