Arithmetic Question
Hi guys,
I'm getting stuck on the following Kaplan question:
A wire is cut into three equal parts. The resulting segments are then cut into 4, 6 and 8 equal parts respectively. If each of the resulting segments has an integer length, what is the minimum length of the wire?
a) 24
b) 36
c) 48
d) 54
e) 72
The answer to this is 72.
I found out the L.C.M for 3, 4, 6 and 8 and got 24. But apparently that's not correct....
