Suppose p is a prime integer. The LCM of (p^a, p^b) is p^{max(a, b)} If X = p1^a1 p2^a2 ... pn^an If we have to split their prime factors among a and b. We must give p1^a1 to at least one of (a, b).

Sometimes you are given numbers expressed as a product of prime factors. For example, 8 = 2 3 and 90 = 2 × 3 2 × 5. If you want to find the LCM and HCF in an exam, we can use prime factor form to ...

Nod your head in a yes in case you were the type who did not like LCM and HCF in school. Nod your head again if you never or just rarely got correct answers in calculating LCM and HCF. Well, whatever ...

The lowest common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that two or more numbers share - the first multiple that they both have in common. The multiples of \({3}\) are \({3}\), \({6}\)...and you can ...
