LCM: Variables and Exponents

Give the class a prime example of using prime numbers. After reviewing prime factorization of numbers with the video, pupils use their knowledge to determine greatest common factors and least common multiples in the worksheet. The...

Prepare your classes for future work by reinforcing multiples and finding least common multiples. Learners see how to identify the least common multiple of a set of numbers. The instructor shows examples including a set of two and a set...

Cover the least common multiple with this tutorial. A decent video that shows the steps necessary for finding the least common multiple among 3 numbers, this resource could prove useful in or out of class. You might give this to learners...

A common multiple is exactly what it says it is: a multiple that two or more numbers have in common. So then a least common multiple would be the smallest common multiple that two or more numbers have in common. Watch this video to see...

Cover the least common multiple with this tutorial. A decent video that shows the steps necessary for finding the least common multiple among three numbers, this resource could prove useful in or out of class. You might give this to...

Two students have a conversation about the least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common factor (GCF). They briefly describe and give examples of how to find both the LCM and GCF. Note: The dialogue may be difficult to understand,...

Give students detailed instructions on how to find the Least Common Multiple as well as practice with this thorough introductory worksheet. Instructions for this worksheet include an explanation of both guess and check as well as prime...

RJ instructs your sixth graders in two different methods of determining least common multiples. The first is by listing several multiples of each number, and the second is by drawing factor trees. This is an ideal flipped classroom...

Looking for the least common multiple, not the greatest common factor. It's so easy to mix these up. It may seem a little confusing at first because there are variables and exponents in the monomial examples. Watch this video and get...

Don't get Least Common Multiple mixed up with Greatest Common Factor, it's easy to do. Use the prime factor tree to find the prime factorization of each of the terms given. This is where it gets tricky figuring out the LCM, so watch this...
