16
Shortcut for Finding the Least Common Denominator or Least Common Multiple 2- 4- 2 will divide evenly into 4, so 4 is your LCM. Using the shortcut, what is the LCM?
17
Shortcut for Finding the Least Common Denominator or Least Common Multiple 3- 12- Using the shortcut, what is the LCD or LCM? 3 will divide evenly into 12, so 12 is your LCD or LCM.
18
Shortcut for Finding the Least Common Denominator or Least Common Multiple 3- 8- Using the shortcut, what is the LCD or LCM? 3 will not divide evenly into 8, so find the least common multiple.
19
Tower method of finding LCM. 1. Divide by prime numbers only. 2. Multiply them by the remainders on top. 1430
20
Tower method of finding LCM. 1. Divide by prime numbers only. 2. Multiply them by the remainders on top. 3015
21
Tower method of finding LCM. 1. Divide by prime numbers only. 2. Multiply them by the remainders on top. 2048
22
Tower method of finding LCM. 1. With 3 #’s, you must remove prime #’s that are common to all. 2. Then remove prime #’s common to 2 of them. Bring up the other number. 81216 81216
