what is the least common multiple of 12 , 18 , and 24 ?
"let us first write the numbers in the form of prime factors : 12 = 2 ^ 2 * 3 ^ 1 18 = 2 ^ 1 * 3 ^ 2 24 = 2 * 17 ^ 1 the lcm would be the largest powers of the prime numbers from all these three numbers . hence lcm = 72 option a"
lcm(lcm(add(const_10, const_2), subtract(multiply(const_3, const_10), const_3)), 18)
