|dw:1412684038654:dw|
to find lcm we divide our number with prime number can u tell me smallest + prime number
i will give a hint 2,3,5,7
now??
LCM is the smallest number that can get into 9 and 12(not including one) So what do you think it is?
OK HOLD ON IM DOING IT ON PAPER
Okay.
okay give it a try
1
12 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 3; 9 = 1 * 3 * 3. I have bolded the factors in common. Multiply the factors in common by the other factors: 1 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 36, so the LCM of 9 & 12 is 36
Lol that's wrong @calebwill123
36 can't get into 9 and 12 because it's way too big.
after 1 nest prime no is
oh thx @iGreen
okk prime number are the number which are divisible by 1 or itself so next is 2
OK
so we start with 2 generally
so in 9 and 12 is there any no which can be divided by 2 ??
YES
You don't want any decimals. |dw:1412684362156:dw|
