What is the LCM of 6x^2y^3z and 15x^3yz^2 \n" ); document.write( "I know the LCM of 6 and 15 is 30 but I don't know what to do with the exponents. \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "You know 30 is the lcm of 6 and 15 because 30 is the smallest number \n" ); document.write( "that both 6 and 15 divide evenly. \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "So look at x^2 and x^3; Do you see that x^3 is the smallest monomial that \n" ); document.write( "both x^2 and x^3 divide evenly? \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "And looking at y^3 and y; Do you see that y^3 is the smallest? \n" ); document.write( "And looking at z and z^2: Do you see that z^2 is the smallest? \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "So your lcm is 30x^3y^3z^2 \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
