This afternoon, sara noticed that the number of the page assigned for homework is divisble by both 12 and 2.what is the smallest possible page number that could have been assigned

The smallest possible page number that would have been assigned is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pages assigned for homework = x

The 'x' is the number which divisible by both 2 and 12.

2 = 1 × 2 (prime number)

12 =  1 × 2 × 2 × 3 (Composite number)

The smallest possible page number that could have been assigned will be equal to lowest common multiple of 1, 1, 2, 2 and 3.

X = 1 × 1 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

in mathematics, a constraint is a condition of an optimization problem that the solution must satisfy. there are several types of constraints—primarily equality constraints, inequality constraints, and integer constraints. the set of candidate solutions that satisfy all constraints is called the feasible set.

hoped i'm right lol
