Question 1099217
.
<pre>
Actually, the problem asks about Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 24, 30 and 32.


24 = {{{2^2*3}}},

30 = {{{2*3*5}}},

32 = {{{2^5}}}.


Thus LCM must include factors  {{{2^5}}}, 3 and 5.


Therefore,  LCM(24,30,32) = {{{2^5*3*5}}} = 480.


<U>Answer</U>.  

    WHAT IS THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF SAPLINGS WHICH MAKES THIS POSSIBLE?  480.


    HOW MANY GROUPS CAN BE MADE,IF EACH GROUP HAS 24 SAPLINGS?         {{{480/24}}} = 20 group.
</pre>

Solved.
