Example: 30 and 42
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, the LCM

What is the prime factorization of 20 and 60?

Let's do 20 first.20 can be written as 4x5. Note that 5 is prime but 4 is not. So write 4 as 2x2.The prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5.Now for 60, we have 3x20.We can use what we just did and write the prime factorization of 60 as2x2x3x5.

What is he l.c.m of 18 and 24?

The least common multiple (LCM) of 18 and 24 is 72. To find the LCM, you can list the multiples of each number or use the prime factorization method. The prime factorization of 18 is (2 \times 3^2) and for 24, it is (2^3 \times 3). Taking the highest power of each prime, the LCM is (2^3 \times 3^2 = 72).
