List the prime factorization of each number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12=2*2*3
\n" ); document.write( "35=5*7
\n" ); document.write( "42=2*3*7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now circle the unique (and most frequent) factors. These factors are the two \"2\" terms in 12, any 3, a 5 and a 7. Multiply these all together to get 2*2*3*5*7=4*15*7 = 60*7 = 420\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the LCM of 12, 35, and 42 is 420\r
