thank you for this, i was really struggling on how to find the LCM, but now i can continue and actually pass! didn't get it at first, got really frustrated, but then i calmed down and wrote down every thing. this really deserves a like.

Wow! Thanks!

They didn't teach us this way when I was a kid, and now that I'm back to college finishing my degree, I've been having to deal with stuff I haven't seen in 40 years. The professor that I have for remedial math has a rather thick accent, which makes it all the more difficult. I couldn't get factor trees for nothing. Now I see where I was going wrong. You made it simple as can be. I subscribed, so I'll be back for more!

Thanks again! : )

The way in witch you set this up is far better then the way my collage professor showed us same concept but it was confusing and she had us crossing out numbers also..

this may just help me ace the LCM and GCFpart of my test

Yes why does this work? Thanks for the help but this is still too abstract for me. I feel like a machine following those steps.

Because the 3 is not in the 16 she just is 18 so the 3 is not common

You cannot write the 3 cause is not common
