Math Problem Statement
Determine the LCD of the above by division of prime numbers
Solution
To determine the LCD (Least Common Denominator) of two or more numbers using the method of division by prime numbers, follow these steps:
Steps:
- List the numbers you are finding the LCD for.
- Divide the numbers by the smallest prime number (starting from 2). If a number is not divisible by the prime number, leave it unchanged.
- Continue dividing the quotients by primes, until all quotients are 1.
- The LCD is the product of all the prime numbers you used.
Can you provide the numbers you're working with so I can demonstrate this method in detail?
