The correct answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least number of party favors, we have to check the number of guests at the party:

In this case, there are two possibilities : 6 or 8.

For 6 guests : No. of favors can be 6, 12, 18, 24 (Add 6 to each number because for each guest no. of favors should be same)

For 8 guests : No. of favors can be 8, 16, 24 (Similarly Add 8 to each number)

Now in both the cases, the least number (that is in common) is 24.

Hence, Madison should make at least 24 party favors so each guest gets the same number of favors.
