A certain class of students is being divided into teams. The class can either be divided into 16 teams with an equal number of players on each team or 24 teams with an equal number of players on each team. What is the lowest possible number of students in the class?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 6 B) 36 C) 48 D) 60 E) 72

Rationale: "let total no of students in the class be n so , we are told that n is divisible by both 16 24 so , lets find the least common multiple of 16 24 , ie 48 so our answer is ( c ) 48"
Answer: C
