Question

help!!!!!!

Answer 1

post your question @Tasha

Answer 2

what is the L.C.M of 24,60 and 96 @Jessica_Moore

Answer 3

how u get that answer @Jessica_Moore

Answer 4

You think about what they both go into, all three. 480 goes into all.

Answer 5

i need to show working for it @Jessica_Moore

Answer 6

i tried telling you before by asking you what the prime factors are.

Answer 7

i didnt see u ask me dat @amistre64

Answer 8

ahh, i was wondering why you closed it and asked the same question again. That would explain it

Answer 9

i do this mentally, im sorry i dont know how to show the work.

Answer 10

so, what are the prime factors of 24?

Answer 11

is it, 1,2,6,12,24

Answer 12

and 3

Answer 13

those are the factors of 24, but im thinking more of just the prime numbers that multiply together to get 24; like this:

24 = 6*4
=2*3*2*2

the prime factorization of 24 is: 2,2,2,3

Answer 14

the prime factors of 60 are:

60 = 6 * 10
= 2*3*2*5

the prime factorization of 60 is: 2,2,3,5

Answer 15

can you do 96 for me?

Answer 16

umm..... 96=8*12
= 2*4*2*6

Answer 17

thats pretty good; but i see that we can take that even further; since they are not all primes yet

96 = 8 * 12
= 2*4*2*6
= 2*2*2*2*3

now its been reduced to all primes numbers

Answer 18

well, i forgot a 2 ....

96=8*12
= 2*4*2*6
= 2*2*2*2*2*3 ; thats better

Answer 19

now, once we have the prime factorizations, i use a method of lining up all the values and just it all down.

24: 2,2,2, 3
60: 2,2, 3,5
96: 2,2,2,2,2,3
-----------------
lcm: 2,2,2,2,2,3,5

Answer 20

therefore the lcm is the product of: 2*2*2*2*2*3*5
8 * 12 * 5
40 * 12
480

Answer 21

OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH @amistre64

Answer 22

youre welcome, and good luck
