Find the LCM for: 2, 4, 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The way you can find that is by seeing that six is the largest number. And seeing how many times 6 multiplys into 12. Then we know to check and see if 2 and 4 go in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 you can also do it by prime factorisation method of all three numbers

Adithya Prime factorization and Finding the least common denominator are similar but not the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I do the prime factorization?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I have another question: 20, 25, 30, and I tried it with prime factorization and it's confusing D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have a test and I can't use that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You do by starting to see two numbers that go into 6 which are 2 and 3 and then you find which two number go into 2 and 3. But they can so the prime factorization of six is 2, 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you draw me a diagram about that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.
