It's sometimes true.
One example is the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, which is their product.
But the product isn't always the answer because (example 2:) the least common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30 because 6*5=30 and 3*10=30, however 6*10 is 60.
Ergo, it is only sometimes true.
Answer:
(x-2) (x^2 -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 − 2x^2 − 5x + 10
We will factor by grouping
Take and x^2 out of the first two terms and -5 out of the last two terms
x^2 (x-2) -5(x-2)
Now we can factor out (x-2)
(x-2) (x^2 -5)
Answer:
0.286
Step-by-step explanation:
12/7 x 1/6
Answer:
I would rather use their multiples.
Step-by-step explanation:
With 13 and 14, neither number has many factors (and few prime factors, for that matter) so factoring would be pretty much useless. If you wanted to use the prime factors of 14 (7 and 2) multiplying either of them by 13 would not give you the LCM. Actually the LCM is just 13*14 which is 182.
Good luck!
