The smallest number when divided by 28 and 32 leaves remainder 8 and 12 respectively:-
28 – 8 = 20 and 32 – 12 = 20 are divisible by the required numbers.
Therefore, the required number will be 20 less than the LCM of 28 and 32.
Prime factorization of 28 = 2 x 2 x 7
Prime factorization of 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
LCM(28, 32) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 224.
Therefore, the required the smallest number = 224 – 20 = 204.
