Answer:


30x^7y^4u^8

Explanation:

We have been given two expressions
15x^7y^3u^8 and


6y^4u^5

Now we need to find out least common multiple of these two expressions.

First we need to find out what is common factor of both expressions.
15x^7y^3u^8 and


6y^4u^5

Least common multiple means find the expression which can be divided by both expressions.

15 and 6 both goes into 30

so 30 is part of LCM (least common multiple )

Now pickup the highest exponent of each variable.

So we get
x^7y^4u^8

Hence required least common multiple is
30x^7y^4u^8
