Problem: 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 ?
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"
annotated_formula: lcm(16, 24)
