Question

How do you find the Least common multiple of `18, 6v`?

Answer 1

LCM is `18v`.

Explanation:

For calculating LCM of two numbers, we first write all the factors of the two numbers. Then for LCM, we first pick up all the common factors and then the remaining factors i.e. the numbers left out and multiply them.

Here we have two numbers `18` and `6v`.

Factors of `18` and `6v` are

`18=ul(color(red)(2×3))×3`

`6v=ul(color(red)(2×3))×v`

Hence LCM is `ul(color(red)(2×3))×3×v=18v`.
