Q. What is the least common multiple of

6

and

2

?

\newline

\operatorname{lcm}(6,2)=

Identify prime factorization of $6$ : Identify the prime factorization of $6$ . $\newline$ Prime factorization of $6$ : $2 \times 3$
Identify prime factorization of $2$ : Identify the prime factorization of $2$ . $\newline$ Prime factorization of $2$ : $2$
Identify distinct prime factors: Identify all the distinct prime factors from the prime factorization of the two numbers. $\newline$ Distinct prime factors: $2$ , $3$
Determine LCM with factor of $6$ : Since $2$ is a factor of $6$ , the least common multiple (LCM) of $6$ and $2$ must be a multiple of $6$ .
Determine LCM by choosing larger number: Determine the least common multiple (LCM) by choosing the larger number because it already includes the factor of the smaller number. $\newline$ LCM of $6$ and $2$ is $6$ .
