Finding the LCM of Similar Binomial Terms
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2026 7:22 pm
When getting the LCM of terms, the binomial part is gotten when we combine them, unless we see similar binomial terms to different powers. In that case, among the similar ones, the one with the highest power is used, not the other ones.
\({\huge (5x)(x - 3)(x - 3)^{3}}\)What is the LCM of the following terms?
\(LCM = (5x)(x - 3)^{3}\)
\((x + 6)(5x)(3 - x)\)
\(LCM = (x + 6)(5x)(3 - x)\)
