2^3*v^4*u^8*w^5  3*2*u^6*w^3
we take the highest power of each base
2^3*3*u^8*v^4*w^5
24u^8v^4w^5

what is the least common multiply of 
120 and 90
same thing
120 = 3*5*2*2*2
90 = 3*^2*5*2
highest power of 2 is 2^3
highest power of 3 is 3^2
highest power of 5 is 5^2
so
lcm = 2^3*3^2*5^2 = 8*9*25 = 1800
