WHAT IS THE LCM OF 9,7,6?
Find the prime factors of each:
9=3*3
7=7
6=2*3
You multiply the highest amount of each prime factor that occur, 9 has 2 3's and 6 has 1, so you need 2:
LCM=3*3*7*2
highlight%28LCM=126%29
Notice that, 9, 7, and 6 all go evenly into 126.
126/9=14 126/7=18 and 126/6=21 and 14, 18, and 21 don't have a common factor.
Happy Calculating!!!
