1. LCM of: 4, 27, 12 is 108 108/4 = 27 108/27 = 4 108/12 = 9 2. the answer depends on what you put into each basket. if you want one of EACH of the three, then you can only have 24 baskets if you are OK with only one item, any item, then you can have 24 + 36 + 60 = 120 baskets 3. LCM of 36, 6, 4, 3 = 36 36/6 = 6 pens 36/4 = 9 stickers 36/3 = 12 balls.
