Find the least common multiple of these two expressions.<br> 10v^6y^7 and 6w^4v^5y^3

egoroff_w [7]

10v⁶y⁷ = <u>2</u> * 5 * <u>vvvvv</u>v * <u>yyy</u>yyyy

6w⁴v⁵y³ = <u>2</u> * 3 * wwww * <u>vvvvv</u> * <u>yyy</u>

GCF: 2v⁴y³

<em>The LCM is the GCF and everything leftover</em>

LCM: 2v⁴y³ * (5 * v * yyyy) * (3 * wwww)

= (2 * 5 * 3) * (v⁴ * v) * (w⁴) * (y³ * y⁴)

= 30 v⁵ w⁴ y⁷

Answer: LCM = 30v⁵w⁴y⁷

When you multiply 2/3 by a fraction less than one, how does the product compare to the factor

user100 [1]

The product is less than either of the factors. Multiplying a number < 1 with 2/3 another number < 1, will give a fraction of a fraction, and part of a fraction is an even smaller fraction. Another way of looking at it: Fractions less than one have numerators smaller than their denominators. When multiplying fractions, you multiply across, so multiplying two fractions that are both less than one will always give a numerator much smaller than the denominator, and a larger denominator makes for a smaller number. I hope this helps, but if you have questions, ask.
