You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the least common multiple of a number can include the number itself.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the least common multiple of 6 and 12 is equal to 12 because 6 divides evenly into 12 and 12 divides evenly into 12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if this were not true, then it would be some other number bigger than both of them.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for example:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the least common multiple of 3 and 4 is equal to 12 because that's the smallest number that each of them can divide evenly into.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the multiples of 3 are 3,6,9,12.
\n" ); document.write( "the multiples of 4 are 4,8,12.
\n" ); document.write( "the least common multiple is 12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in your problem, the multiples of 6 are 6,12.
\n" ); document.write( "the multiples of 12 are 12.
\n" ); document.write( "the least common multiple is 12.\r
