Example: 30 and 42
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
First, find the prime factorization of the number. For instance, with 45: 45 = 3 * 3 * 5 = 32 * 51 Now, from this prime factorization, any numbers whose prime factorizations do not include these factors is coprime to the number you have.
To simplify fractions, it is necessary to divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF. You can find their GCF by comparing their prime factorizations. You can find their prime factorizations through the use of factor trees.
it is like a factor ex: 40 and 48 8 is the answer because 6x8=48 and 8x5=40
for s being prime find all s so that s² < 50 { 4 , 25 , 49...and one more }
To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of multiple numbers, you first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 4 is 2^2, 6 is 2 * 3, 10 is 2 * 5, and 15 is 3 * 5. Then, you take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the factorizations. So, the LCM of 4, 6, 10, and 15 is 2^2 * 3 * 5, which equals 60.
The factor tree finds the prime factorization of a given number. Combining the prime factorizations of two denominators correctly will give you their least common denominator.
2 is the least prime number.
First, find the prime factorization of the number. For instance, with 45: 45 = 3 * 3 * 5 = 32 * 51 Now, from this prime factorization, any numbers whose prime factorizations do not include these factors is coprime to the number you have.

a and b have no common prime factors. Their LCM is their product.
It is 210.
Finding the prime factorizations of the denominators will help you find the least common denominator. Converting to equivalent fractions with like denominators will allow you to subtract them successfully.
I find the easiest way to find the prime factorization of any number is to start with the smallest prime number that divides the number. So, for 50, I would start with 2. Now we have 2x25. Since 25 is 52 we find the prime factorization of 50 is 2x5x5.
