Question

Find the LCM of the numbers using prime factorizations 6,12,14

Answer 1

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = 2 • 3  

   12 = 22 • 3  

   14 = 2 • 7

LCM = 22 • 3 • 7

Least Common Multiple is :

84

Answer 2

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use prime factorizations

6 = 3*2

12 = 3*4 = 3*2*2

14 = 7*2

We need to take the numbers that appear and determine the most times that it appears in a term

2 appears 2 times

3 appears 1 time

7 appears 1 time

2*2*3*7 =84

The least common multiple is 84
