(x+1)(x+6)(x-4)

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more non-zero whole numbers is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of those numbers. In other words, the LCM is the smallest number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

Hope This Helps & Good Luck

Answer:

The answer to your question is (x + 1)(x + 6)(x - 4)

Explanation:

Polynomials

x² + 7x + 6 x² - 3x - 4

Process

1.-Factor both trinomials

(x + 1)(x + 6) (x - 4)(x + 1)

2.- Select all the factors that are different

(x + 1)(x + 6)(x - 4) This is the least common factor

Or we can multiply the factors

x³ + 3x² - 22x - 24
