Question #1190c

Answer 1

`LCM(12,2,6)=color(red)(12)`

Explanation:

Since both `2` and `6` (and `12`) divide evenly into `12`
the Least Common Multiple is `12`

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

The LCM or Least Common Multiply is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers. All of the numbers must be factors of the Least Common Multiple.

`12 xx 1 = 12`

`2 xx 6 = 12`

`6 xx 2 = 12`

There are no multiples that are smaller than 12. so 12 is the Least Common Multiple.
