To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 240 and 900, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 240 is 2^4 * 3 * 5, and the prime factorization of 900 is 2^2 * 3^2 * 5^2. The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either factorization, so the LCM of 240 and 900 is 2^4 * 3^2 * 5^2, which equals 3600.
The least common multiple (LCM) has enough factors from each number that you can divide the LCM by the number and get a whole number as a result (no remainder) 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 factor down to prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc) to see relationships better. in other words, divide the factors until you can't any more without getting a remainder 12 = two of 2 and one 3 16 = four of 2 16 has more 2's than 12, so the LCM needs to have the number of 2's that 16 has. 12 has more 3's than 16, so the LCM needs to have the number of 3's that 12 has. LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48 This might be more complicated than other methods, but this is the one that makes the most sense to me.
If you know what a factorial is, it would be (4!-.4)/.4+4! 4!=3*2*1 5!=4*3*2*1 99!=98*97*96*........*3*2*1
there are 4 .
First, it is going by ones: 1 2 3 4 5 6. Next it goes by 2's. 2 4 6 8. Finally it goes by 's. 6 9, next would be 12, 15.
