5/6x^5, y/12x*3 What I am having a problem is factoring out the 6 and 12 with that i get 2*3*x*x*x*x*x for 6x^5 for 12x^3 2*2*3*x*x*x how many of each do i take away to find the new LCM

+5%2F%286x%5E5%29+ y%2F%2812x%5E3%29+
+5%2F%282%2A3%2Ax%2Ax%2Ax%2Ax%2Ax%29+ y%2F%282%2A2%2A3%2Ax%2Ax%2Ax%29+
find greatest number of times a factor appears in either 6x^5 or 12x^3
2 two occurrences
3 one occurrence
x five occurrences
2*2*3*x*x*x*x*x
2*2*3*x^5
4*3*x^5
12x^5
12x^5 is LCM of 6x^5 and 12x^3
