Find the LCM 8v^2-6v , 3

Since ${\displaystyle 2v(4v-3),3}$ contain both numbers and variables, there are four steps to find the LCM. Find LCM for the numeric, variable, and compound variable parts. Then, multiply them all together.

Steps to find the LCM for ${\displaystyle 2v(4v-3),3}$ are:

1. Find the LCM for the numeric part ${\displaystyle 2,3}$.

2. Find the LCM for the variable part ${\displaystyle v^1}$.

3. Find the LCM for the compound variable part ${\displaystyle 4v-3}$.

4. Multiply each LCM together.

The LCM is the smallest positive number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

1. List the prime factors of each number.

2. Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

Since ${\displaystyle 2}$ has no factors besides ${\displaystyle 1}$ and ${\displaystyle 2}$.

${\displaystyle 2}$ is a prime number

Since ${\displaystyle 3}$ has no factors besides ${\displaystyle 1}$ and ${\displaystyle 3}$.

${\displaystyle 3}$ is a prime number

The LCM of ${\displaystyle 2,3}$ is the result of multiplying all prime factors the greatest number of times they occur in either number.

Multiply ${\displaystyle 2}$ by ${\displaystyle 3}$.

The factor for ${\displaystyle v^1}$ is ${\displaystyle v}$ itself.

${\displaystyle v}$ occurs ${\displaystyle 1}$ time.

The LCM of ${\displaystyle v^1}$ is the result of multiplying all prime factors the greatest number of times they occur in either term.

The factor for ${\displaystyle 4v-3}$ is ${\displaystyle 4v-3}$ itself.

${\displaystyle (4v-3)}$ occurs ${\displaystyle 1}$ time.

The LCM of ${\displaystyle 4v-3}$ is the result of multiplying all factors the greatest number of times they occur in either term.
