Whar is the LCM of 1/6 and 3/8

There are 3 methods to find the lowest common multiple (LCM)

Method 1

List out the multiples of 6 and 8

multiples of 6 = {6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, ...}

multiples of 8 = {8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, ...}

We see that 24 is the smallest number in both sets at the same time. So this is the LCM.

Method 2

Write the prime factorization of 6 and 8

prime factorization of 6 = 2*3

prime factorization of 8 = 2*2*2

The unique prime factors here are 2 and 3. We have 2 show up at most three times meaning that 2*2*2 = 8 is a factor of the LCM. The number 3 is also a factor meaning that 8*3 = 24 is the LCM.

Method 3

Multiply the denominators 6 and 8 to get 6*8 = 48

48 is a common multiple, but its not the smallest

we can divide 48 over the GCF 2 to get 48/2 = 24, which is the actual LCM.

So when you have 2 different denominators, you can multiply their values and then divide by the GCF to get the LCM.

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
