It looks like you uploaded an image showing a math quiz. The task is to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for several pairs or groups of numbers. Here is the list of the problems shown:

1. LCM of \( 24 \) and \( 60 \)
2. LCM of \( 5 \), \( 18 \), and \( 20 \)
3. LCM of \( 6 \), \( 18 \), and \( 24 \)
4. LCM of \( 15 \), \( 20 \), and \( 30 \)
5. LCM of \( 12 \), \( 36 \), and \( 48 \)

Let me solve each of these problems one by one:

### 1. LCM of \( 24 \) and \( 60 \)
The prime factorizations are:
- \( 24 = 2^3 \times 3 \)
- \( 60 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 5 \)

To find the LCM, take the highest powers of all primes involved:
- \( 2^3 \), \( 3 \), and \( 5 \).

LCM \( = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 = 120 \).

### 2. LCM of \( 5 \), \( 18 \), and \( 20 \)
Prime factorizations are:
- \( 5 = 5 \)
- \( 18 = 2 \times 3^2 \)
- \( 20 = 2^2 \times 5 \)

LCM takes the highest powers:
- \( 2^2 \), \( 3^2 \), and \( 5 \).

LCM \( = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 180 \).

### 3. LCM of \( 6 \), \( 18 \), and \( 24 \)
Prime factorizations are:
- \( 6 = 2 \times 3 \)
- \( 18 = 2 \times 3^2 \)
- \( 24 = 2^3 \times 3 \)

LCM takes the highest powers:
- \( 2^3 \) and \( 3^2 \).

LCM \( = 2^3 \times 3^2 = 72 \).

### 4. LCM of \( 15 \), \( 20 \), and \( 30 \)
Prime factorizations are:
- \( 15 = 3 \times 5 \)
- \( 20 = 2^2 \times 5 \)
- \( 30 = 2 \times 3 \times 5 \)

LCM takes the highest powers:
- \( 2^2 \), \( 3 \), and \( 5 \).

LCM \( = 2^2 \times 3 \times 5 = 60 \).

### 5. LCM of \( 12 \), \( 36 \), and \( 48 \)
Prime factorizations are:
- \( 12 = 2^2 \times 3 \)
- \( 36 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \)
- \( 48 = 2^4 \times 3 \)

LCM takes the highest powers:
- \( 2^4 \) and \( 3^2 \).

LCM \( = 2^4 \times 3^2 = 144 \).

### Summary of LCMs:
1. LCM of \( 24 \) and \( 60 \) = **120**
2. LCM of \( 5 \), \( 18 \), and \( 20 \) = **180**
3. LCM of \( 6 \), \( 18 \), and \( 24 \) = **72**
4. LCM of \( 15 \), \( 20 \), and \( 30 \) = **60**
5. LCM of \( 12 \), \( 36 \), and \( 48 \) = **144**
