The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2. It is not possible to find the LCM of a single number.
Find the prime factorization of 16.The prime factorization of 16 is: 2x2x2x2.
No number has that prime factorization since 4 isn't prime.
No, 4 is not prime.
2 x 2 = 42 x 3 x 3 = 18Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36, the LCM
It is: 4
That depends on the value of A.
That's a lot of extra work for this problem but here goes. 3 is already prime so it doesn't really have a factor tree or prime factorization. The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2 which looks like this in a factor tree.42,23 and 4 have no common prime factors, so the LCM is their product, 12
You can use the numbers in common in the prime factorization to find the LCM (least common multiple of two numbers). Multiply all the prime factors together, but if the two numbers have a prime factor in common, only use that number once. Here are a few examples: Find the LCM of 40 and 35: The prime factorization of 40 is 2*2*2*5. The prime factorization of 35 is 5*7. The prime factorization both have a 5 in common, so you only need one five. The LCM then is 2*2*2*7*5 = 280. Find the LCM of 24 and 20: 24 = 2*2*2*3. 20 = 2*2*5. The prime factorization have two twos in common, so you only need one two from each pair. You will still need another 2 since the third 2 in the prime factorization of 24 does not have a pair in the factorization of 20. The LCM then is 2*2*2*3*5 = 120. Find the LCM of 15 and 4: 15 = 3*5 4 = 2*2 There are no matching pairs between the prime factorization, so find the LCM by multiplying all the numbers together: 2*2*3*5=60 Find the LCM of 60 and 100: 140 = 2*2*3*5 100 = 2*2*5*5 There are two pairs of 2s and a pair of 5. You can think of it like this: 140 = (2*2*5)*3 100 = (2*2*5)*5 The numbers in parentheses are pairs so you only need one of them. In this case, the LCM is (2*2*5)*3*5 = 300.
The LCM of 2 and 4 is 4 The prime factorization of 2 is 1*2. The prime factorization of 4 is 2*2 While the number 2 is a factor for both numbers, it occurs two times for 4; Therefore, include 2 x 2 in the answer Therefore, LCM(2,4) = 2 x 2 = 4
The least common multiple (LCM) of 40, 80, and 128 is 640. To find the LCM, you can find the prime factors of each number and then take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers. In this case, the prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5, the prime factorization of 80 is 2^4 * 5, and the prime factorization of 128 is 2^7. Taking the highest powers, we get 2^7 * 5 = 640.
Find the prime factorization of 16.The prime factorization of 16 is: 2x2x2x2.
Prime factorization of each number is as follows: 29=29 (it's prime) 58=2*29 4=2^2 The LCM is 2^2*29 = 116.

32 x 2Combine the factors.2 x 2 x 3 = 12, the LCM
The prime factorization of 4 is 2 X 2, represented as 2^2. Prime factorization of 4 is 2 X 2.
Divide it by 2. 2 x 2 = 4
