Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you uploaded an image showing a math quiz. The task is to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for several pairs or groups of numbers. Here is the list of the problems shown:
- LCM of and
- LCM of , , and
- LCM of , , and
- LCM of , , and
- LCM of , , and
Let me solve each of these problems one by one:
1. LCM of and
The prime factorizations are:
To find the LCM, take the highest powers of all primes involved:
- , , and .
LCM .
2. LCM of , , and
Prime factorizations are:
LCM takes the highest powers:
- , , and .
LCM .
3. LCM of , , and
Prime factorizations are:
LCM takes the highest powers:
- and .

Summary of LCMs:
- LCM of and = 120
- LCM of , , and = 180
- LCM of , , and = 72
- LCM of , , and = 60
- LCM of , , and = 144
