LCM stands for Least Common Multiple.
The LCM of two numbers is the lowest number that can divide into the two original numbers.
For most numbers, you can find the LCM by simply multiplying the two numbers:

The LCM of 7 and 13 will be 91.
The distance would be 2√3 , in other words it is 2 square root 3
3(4) + 12 + 12[4(6) - 10]
12 + 12 + 12(24 - 10)
12 + 12 + 288 - 120
192
You have to have the same unit of measure. Here your units are "minutes" and "seconds". In order to compare the two, you must change to 240 seconds into minutes (dividing by 60 = 4 mins) OR change the 5 minutes into seconds (multiply by 60 to give you 300 seconds)
