Trying to find the LCM for 60 and 126, anyone know where to start, I need some help understanding this PLEEEASE!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im pretty sure it is three

OpenStudy (hannaha):

"The least common multiple is the smallest number that two or more numbers will divide into evenly." I don't think that 60 and 126 divide into 3 but that could just be me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i think i did this backwards hold on

OpenStudy (hannaha):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wow that was bad haha the lcm is 1260 1260/60=21 1260/10=126

OpenStudy (hannaha):

Wow that is much larger than I thought O.O thnx!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no trouble at all

OpenStudy (perl):

the factors of 60 are 60 = 2x2x5x3 126 = 2 x 7 x 3 x 3 LCM = 2x2 x 5 x 7 x 3 x 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
