Find all the prime factors of the three numbers. pick up the common factors, ONCE, then pick up the non-common factors one by one, multiply the factors, the product is the least common factor.
example: the least common multiple of 6, 8, and 15
6=2*3
8=2*2*2
15=3*5
Note: do not write 8 into 4*2, because 4 is not a prime number. you have to break the number down to prime factors only. 
Notice that 6 and 8 have a common factor 2, so pick up the 2;
 6 and 15 have a common factor of 3, so pick up the 3.
those are the only two shared factors, so 2×3
now pick up whatever is not shared:
the two 2s for 8 and the 5 for 15 is not shared, add 2, 2, and 5 to the multiplication: 2×3×2×2×5=120
120 is the least common multiples of 6,8, and 15

this is basically how it is done. I believe you can explain better in your own words.

The answer is 73 because you solve 9^ 2 which is 81 then multiply 2 times 4 which is 8 then subtract 81 and 8 which is 73

Janice works for a salary of $2,396 per month. She has federal income tax withheld at the rate of 15 percent, Social Security ta
MAVERICK [17]

Given that Janice monthly salary is $2,396. And she has deductions of federal income tax withheld at the rate 15%, social security tax at the rate of 6.2% and medicare tax at the rate of 1.45% and health insurance premium worth 95$ per month.

Let us calculate total deductions.

Federal income tax = 15% of 2396 = 0.15*2396      =$359.4

Social security tax  = 6.2% of 2396=0.062*2396    =$148.552

Medicare tax           = 1.45% of 2396= 0.0145*2396=$34.742

<u>health insurance premium                                         =$95          </u>

Total deductions                                                        = $637.694

To calculate Janice net pay we have to subtract deductions from monthly salary that is 2396-637.694 = $1758.306

Hence net pay of Janice is $1758.306 per month.
