Approach this the same way you would with just plain old numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the factors for each variable in each expression.
\n" ); document.write( "For those factors that are common, find the one that is 'used the most' in the expression.
\n" ); document.write( "Then multipky those 'most used' items together.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"12t%5E2z%5E6\"$ has factors, 2,2,3 t^2 and z^6
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4t%5E6w%5E4z\"$ has factors 2,2 t^6 w^4 z\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Both have the same amount of 2s in them (2*2)
\n" ); document.write( "One has a 3
\n" ); document.write( "Both have ts, but one has t^6. Which is more uses of t than t^2. So use t^6
\n" ); document.write( "One has w^4
\n" ); document.write( "Both have z, but one has z^6. (more uses of z than just plain old z).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have a least common multiple of
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A2+%2A+3+%2A+t%5E6+%2A+w%5E4+%2A+z%5E6\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
