Question

Explain how to find the lcm of 8 and 29

Answer 1

find the product of prime factors and compare them in a ven diagram then puts what’s common in the middle of the two circles and what’s not common on the the outside circles (depending if it’s 8 or 29)then multiply all the numbers together and you’ll find the lowest common multiple :)

Answer 2

lcm(8, 29) = 232

Explanation:

In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by lcm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define lcm(a,0) as 0 for all a, which is the result of taking the lcm to be the least upper bound in the lattice of divisibility.

Multiply 8 and 29 which = 232
