Find the least common multiple of each pair of polynomials.
3x(x+2) and 6x(2x-3)
=====
The least common multiple must have each of the prime
factors in their highest power.

Your Problem:
LCM = 2*3*x*(x+2)(2x-3) = 6x(2x^2+x-6) = 12x^3+6x^2-36x
This is the smallest expressing into which 3x(x+2)
and 6x(2x-3) can divide evenly.

You must gather all common and uncommon prime factors and form a product of all of them
using each one by the greatest exponent (if there are exponents).
So:
and
have the LCM==6x(x+2)(2x+3)
