Find the LCM and the GCF for the set of ages.
\n" ); document.write( "Write each number in prime-factor form.
\n" ); document.write( "Example:
\n" ); document.write( "Shirley 50 = 2*5^2
\n" ); document.write( "Troy 60 = 2^2*3*5
\n" ); document.write( "Nicki 10 = 2*5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "LCM is the product of the different prime factors in their
\n" ); document.write( "highest power = 2^2*3*5^2 = 4*3*25 = 300
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "GCF has the highest COMMON factor product = 2*5 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "====================================================
