Lease Common Multiple is #336xy#

Let us first factorize all monomials

#48x=2xx2xx2xx2xx3xx x#

#24yx=2xx2xx2xx3xxyxx x#

#42x=2xx3xx7xx x#

Observe that this uses #2#, #3#, #7#, #x# and #y#.

and in a single monomial, #2# occurs maximum #4# times and #3#, #7#, #x# and #y# occur not more than once.

Hence Lease Common Multiple is

#2xx2xx2xx2xx3xx7xx x xxy=336xy#
