Algebra.Com's Answer #691117 by jorel1380(3719)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem needs the least common multiple of 7, 12, and 50. So, factoring each, we get: \n" ); document.write( "7=7x1 \n" ); document.write( "12=2x2x3 \n" ); document.write( "50=2x5x5 \n" ); document.write( "So, the least multiple is 2x2x3x5x5x7, or 2100. So, 2016+2100= the year 4116 as the next time all three will bloom in the same year. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( " |
