You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"2x%2B10=2%28x%2B5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-32x-10\"$ does not divide evenly by $\"2\"$ or by $\"x%2B5\"$ . In fact, it cannot be factored into anything with rational coefficients.
\n" ); document.write( "The polynomials $\"x%5E2-32x-10\"$ and $\"2x%2B10\"$ have no factor in common.
\n" ); document.write( "Finding a common multiple of $\"x%5E2-32x-10\"$ and $\"2x%2B10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "is like finding a common multiple of $\"6\"$ and $\"35\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Since they do not have any common factors, all you can do is multiply them together, and you get the least common multiple that way.
\n" ); document.write( "Depending on what you are asked for, or what you are going to do with that common multiple,
\n" ); document.write( "you may want to leave the product as $\"%28x%5E2-32x-10%29%282x%2B10%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "or maybe you would want to actually do the multiplication.
\n" ); document.write( "
