If Y is a variable, it can make the answer vary. If Y = 3, the LCM is 18. If Y = 5, the LCM is 90. If Y = 36, the LCM is 36.
If Y is a question, the LCM of 2, 6 and 18 is 18 because 18 is the smallest positive integer that 2, 6 and 18 can all be divided into evenly with no remainder.

The new LCM is 12y.
The LCM of 28 and 42 is 84. Since y2 and x2 are multiples of y and x respectively, they are automatically the LCM. That makes the answer 84x2y2
You take out the common factor, 6. 6y + 18 = 6(y + 3)
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. If y is a multiple of x, then the LCM of x and y is simply y. This is because y is already a multiple of x, so the LCM will be the same as y.
Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that xy = 54 and x/y = 6. From the second equation, we can rewrite it as x = 6y. Substituting this into the first equation, we get 6y * y = 54, which simplifies to 6y^2 = 54. Solving for y, we find y = 3. Substituting y back into x = 6y, we get x = 18. Therefore, the two numbers are 18 and 3.
