Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM = Lowest Common Multiple

Write down the prime factors of 5 and 8; you could use the factor tree method.

5 is a prime factor

8 = 2,2,2 (2^3)

There's non in common; No 5 within the prime factors of 8, no 2 within the prime factors of 5 (because 5 is a prime factor). So we multiply all of these together!

So 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40
