This same question has just been asked four times under different categories. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1)_______ \"%28x%2B6%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want the simplest or \"least\" common multiple for all of those three expressions. The x+6 occurs ONE time at most in any of the expression.
\n" ); document.write( "The 3 occurs at most ONE time in any of the expressions.
\n" ); document.write( "The 4 occurs at most ONE time in any of the expressions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The lowest common multiple, is then \"highlight%283%2A4%2A%28x%2B6%29%29\" or in fully multiplied form, \"highlight%2812x%2B72%29\"\r
