What method would you use to find the LCM of 17 and 57 and why?

I'd multiply them together because 17 is a Prime number and 57 isn't a multiple of 17 so the LCM has to be their product.

Using the exponential method what is the LCM for 96?
No matter what method you use, you need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
How do you use the prime factorizations to find the LCM of a and b?
a and b have no common prime factors. Their LCM is their product.
What is the LCM of 50 using prime factorization?
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM no matter what you use.
What methods do you use for a one number LCM question?
Avoidance. It is impossible to find the LCM of a single number. You need at least two.
How do you use a division ladder to find the LCM?
First you write down the numbers you are given and put them on an upside-down long division symbol. Divide the two together until you get to where you cannot divide any longer. Take the right side and bottom numbers and multiply them. This should be your LCM. If you cannot divide them at the first division, use the Listing Method, which is listing some of the multiples of that number and see which one is the smallest same number. Hope this helped.

No matter what method you use, you need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
What is a disadvantage of using the prime factorization method to find the LCM?
speed you can just use your brain to find the LCM faster, sometimes.
What method would you use to find the LCM of a group of four numbers?
You write down the multiples of those four numbers and find the LCM. EX. 1:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 2:1,2 3:1,3 4:1,2,3 So the LCM is 2.
What is the LCM of 20 using prime factorization?
It doesn't matter which method you use. You still need at least two numbers to find an LCM. There is no LCM of 20.
What method would you use to find the LCM of 4 numbers?
Just put all of the multiple out to 10 multiples then check if any of them are common. then go out to 20 multiples and check if any of them are common. keep doing this until you find a LCM
What is the algorithm of LCM of more than 3 numbers?
If you use methods based on prime factors, it is the same whether you have 2, 3, or more numbers: find all the factors that occur in any of your numbers. If you use a method based on Euclid's Algorithm (that is, lcm(a, b) = a x b / gcf(a, b), where you find the gcf with Euclid's Algorithm), then you can find the lcm for two numbers at a time. For example, to get the lcm of four numbers, find the lcm of the first two, then the lcm of the result and the third number, than the lcm of the result and the fourth number.
What kind of math operation would you use in finding LCM?
If I was trying to find a least common multiple, I would use multiplication.
Do you use a venn diagram to find the LCM?
You can, but there are more efficient ways to find the LCM.

How do you find GCF and LCM?
To find the GCF and the LCM you have to first at least try to use prime factorization. So use factor trees. Or for the LCM find th least common multiples of the number.
Do you use GCF or LCM to find the least number of something?
you use the lcm (least common multiple).
What methods could you use to find the y coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoints at 0 0 and 0 -12?
The method you could use would be to find the average of the y-coordinates of the end-points.Using that method, you would find it to be -6 .You could use any other method you're comfortable with, but if it led to a different answer, it would be wrong.
