Question

Find the least common multiple of these two expressions.16u8v7x2 and 24u5v3

Answer 1

we have the expressions

`\begin{gathered} 16u^8v^7x^2 \\ 24u^5v^3 \end{gathered}`

Remember that

`\begin{gathered} 16=2^4 \\ 24=2^3*3 \end{gathered}`

therefore

the lcm is equal to

`\begin{gathered} lcm=(2^4*3)u^8v^7x^2 \\ lcm=48u^8v^7x^2 \end{gathered}`
