Thanks for all your help Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the LCM of 6x^6 and 18x^4
----------------------
Determine the prime-factor form of each expression:
----
6x^6 = 3*2*x^6
18x^4 = 3^2*2*x^4
-------
The LCM must have each prime factor in its highest power:
----
LCM = 3^2*2*x^6 = 18x^6
