Answer:

LCM = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Making factors of $8y^{6}+ 144y^{5}+ 640y^{4}$

Taking $8y^{4}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 18y+ 80)$

Using factorization method:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 10y + 8y + 80)\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y (y+ 10) + 8(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y+ 10)(y + 8))\\\Rightarrow \underline{2y^{2}} \times 4y^{2} \underline{(y+ 10)}(y + 8)) ..... (1)$

Now, Making factors of $2y^{4} + 40y^{3} + 200y^{2}$

Taking $2y^{2}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 20y+ 100)$

Using factorization method:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 10y+ 10y+ 100)\\\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y (y+ 10) + 10(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow \underline {2y^{2} (y+ 10)}(y + 10) ............ (2)$

The underlined parts show the Highest Common Factor(HCF).

i.e. HCF is $2y^{2} (y+ 10)$ .

We know the relation between LCM, HCF of the two numbers 'p' , 'q' and the numbers themselves as:

$HCF \times LCM = p \times q$

Using equations (1) and (2): $\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y+ 10) \times LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times 2y^{2} (y+ 10)(y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times (y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$
