The Lowest Common Multiple of 3 and 8 is 24.
In the lists of multiples of two or more numbers, the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) is the lowest number which is a multiple of all the numbers.
For instance, the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27.... and the multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and so on. The multiple 24 is the first number which apears in both lists of multiples. Therefore, 24 is the lowest common multiple of 3 and 8.
