Class 5 of experimental primary school (1) is going to participate in gymnastics. When Mr. Wang was waiting in line, he found a particularly interesting phenomenon. If there are 9 people in each row, there will be 8 more people. Ruomei 143 people

The least common multiple of 9, 8 and 6 is:

9X8X6÷3= 144 people

144- 1= 143 people

A: At least 143 people participated in the competition.

Least common multiple method;

(1) Multiply these two common prime factors by their unique prime factors by decomposing the prime factors.

(2) In the form of short division.

(3) Special case: If two numbers are prime numbers, then the product of these two numbers is their least common multiple.

If the larger number of two numbers is a multiple of the smaller number, the larger number is the least common multiple of the two numbers.
