Question 1134145: A fellow Intermediate Algebra student tells you that x ^2 y^2, x^5 y^5, x^3 y^3 and has a least Common Multiple [which is the LCM. but can be thought of as the Least Common Denominator if it was the bottom of fractions]. You know that this student is INCORRECT Explain what the LCM really is for these terms and explain why or how you got that. Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ,,
factor each term:
: occurrences : occurrences
so,
LCM is
since the LCM is the smallest integer that is evenly divisible by all given terms, you can check it this way:
