One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.

Answer: 4 square inches</h3>
Explanation:
Square the linear scale factor to get 5^2 = 25
This means that,
new area = 25*(old area)
We take this idea in reverse to find the old area
old area = (new area)/25
old area = (100 sq inches)/25
old area = 4 square inches
Answer: 28-6x
This is the same as -6x+28
===============================
To get that answer, you multiply each term inside the parenthesis by the outer term 2
14 * 2 = 28
-3x * 2 = -6x
So,
(14-3x)*2 = 14*2 - 3x*2 = 28-6x
----------
The distribution rule says
a(b-c) = ab-ac
which is the same as saying
(b-c)a = ba-ca
We can flip things around because we can multiply in any order.
The correct answer would be the 3rd one because the number simplified equals that
