Answer:

the product of the two numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of two numbers is their product, divided by their GCF. If their GCF is 1, then the LCM will be their product. That is the most it can be.

We assume you're concerned with whole numbers. For rational numbers, the GCF may be a fraction, so the LCM may be larger than the product of the numbers.

LCM(5, 6) = 5·6/GCF(5, 6) = 5·6/1 = 30

LCM(1/2, 3/4) = (1/2)(3/4)/GCF(1/2, 3/4) = (3/8)/(1/4) = 3/2

The basic equation for interest is the investment amount(x) times the time in years(y) times the percent of interest(z).

That makes the equation:

x·y·z= amount with interest.

Lets plug in the numbers:

$900 x 1.5 x 2.4%

Now turn the percent into a decimal:

2.4% ----> .024

Now the equation is:

$900 x 1.5 x .024

Now do the math:

$900 x 1.5 = 1350
1350 x .024 = 32.4
1350 + 32.4 = 1382.4

The final answer is $1382.40
