Madison is making party favors. She wants to make enough favors so each guest gets the same number of party favors. She knows there will be 6 or 8 at the party. What is the least number of party favors Madison should make?

The correct answer is: 24

Explanation:

To find the least number of party favors, we have to consider the number of guests.

In this case, there are two possibilities-6 or 8.

For 6: 6, 12, 18, 24 (Add 6 to each number)

For 8: 8, 16, 24 (Add 8 to each number)

Now in both series, the least number (that is in common) is 24. Hence, Madison should make at least 24 party favors.

A:24

6:6,12,18,24<--
