please help me!! Find the least common multiple. 3x^2, 12y, and 10x^3y^3

OpenStudy (raden):

the LCM of 3, 12, and 10 = 60

OpenStudy (raden):

while the LCM of x^2, y, and x^3y^3 = x^3y^3

OpenStudy (nathan917):

For 10x and 45x^4, the least common multiple would be 90x^4 by multiplying 10x by 9^3 and 45x^2 by 2.

OpenStudy (raden):

now, joining of them they are be 60x^3y^3

OpenStudy (nathan917):

oops put this in wrong question..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers with 60 are A.60x^3y^3 B.60x^5y^3 @RadEn @nathan917

OpenStudy (raden):

obviously, it is A

OpenStudy (nathan917):

multiples of 3x^2: 3 * x * x multiples of 12y: 2 * 2 * 3 * y multiples of 10x^3y^3: 2 * 5 * x * x * x * y * y * y Cross out the factors that are repeated and multiply the rest: 3 * x * x * 2 * 2 * y * 5 * x * y * y so 60x^3y^3

Hope i explained it better.
