Let's try one.
30x2y3z4 - 42x4y5z2
Do the numbers first.
Factor them.
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
For the variables, select the highest exponent.
The LCM of the above expression is 210x4y5z4

The least common multiple (LCM) of two monomials is the smallest monomial that is a multiple of both monomials. To find the LCM of 26ab^2 and 28ac^3, we need to identify the highest power of each variable that appears in either monomial. The LCM will then be the product of these highest powers, along with any remaining unique factors. In this case, the LCM of 26ab^2 and 28ac^3 is 364a^1b^2c^3.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
The prime factorization of 4 is 2 x 2. It is not possible to find the LCM of a single number.
LCM of 8, 12, 18 = 72Prime factorization of:8 = 2 * 2 * 212=2 * 2......* 318=2 ..........* 3 * 3=============LCM=2*2 * 2 * 3 *3 = 72
Step 1 Find the prime factors of each number 36 = 2×2×3×3 = 2²×3² 72 = 2³×3² 108 = 2²×3³ Step 2 Find LCM L - Highest (Find the number with the highest exponent) C - Common (Find the common number EG. 2 and 3) M - Missing ( Take what ever is missing that is not common) LCM : 2³×3³ = 216 Your LCM is 216
