Find all the prime factors of the three numbers. pick up the common factors, ONCE, then pick up the non-common factors one by one, multiply the factors, the product is the least common factor.
example: the least common multiple of 6, 8, and 15
6=2*3
8=2*2*2
15=3*5
Note: do not write 8 into 4*2, because 4 is not a prime number. you have to break the number down to prime factors only.
Notice that 6 and 8 have a common factor 2, so pick up the 2;
6 and 15 have a common factor of 3, so pick up the 3.
those are the only two shared factors, so 2×3
now pick up whatever is not shared:
the two 2s for 8 and the 5 for 15 is not shared, add 2, 2, and 5 to the multiplication: 2×3×2×2×5=120
120 is the least common multiples of 6,8, and 15
this is basically how it is done. I believe you can explain better in your own words.
Answer:
Ms. Gregg could buy 4 apples and 6 bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split the money and try to get even on each fruit by, getting 4 apples which would be 8 dollars on 4 apples then the extra money would be left over for the bananas which would be six dollars and since the bananas are only 1 dollar you can buy 6 with the leftover money.
Answer: The domain is the 3rd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
parenthesis first -3-11.5
then subtract so your answer is -14.5
Median of 10, 55, 34, 21
First we arrange number in ascending or descending
10, 21, 34, 55 in ascending.
Median is the middle number and this is between 21 and 34.
We find the average:
(21 + 34) /2 = 55/2 = 27.5
Median is 27.5.
