The LCM is the smallest positive number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.
1. List the prime factors of each number.
2. Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.
The number
1
is not a prime number because it only has one positive factor, which is itself.
Not prime

Step-by-step explanation:
there does that help
We can expand the logarithm of a product as a sum of logarithms:
Then using the change of base formula, we can derive the relationship
This immediately tells us that
Notice that none of 
can be equal to 1. This is because
for any choice of 
. This means we can safely do the following without worrying about division by 0.
so that
Similarly,
so that
So we end up with
###
Another way to do this:
Then
So we have
The values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions
<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>
The equation is given as:
2|x + 7|= x - 8
Expand the absolute bracket
|2x + 14|= x - 8
Remove the absolute bracket
2x + 14 = x - 8 and 2x + 14 = -x + 8
Evaluate the like terms
x = -22 and 3x = -6
This gives
x = -22 and x = -2
Hence, the values of x are -22 and -2 and there are not extraneous solutions
