Before we begin…
• Please take out your notebook and get ready to work…
• Today we will look at the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2 or more numbers…
• For those students that do not know their multiplication tables…knowing this will help you when you have to convert fractions to a common denominator
• Raise your hand if you can tell the class what a least common multiple is…

Objective 5.6
• Students will find the least common multiple of two or more numbers.
![Page 6: MJ2A 5.6 – Least Common Multiple. Bellwork Add or subtract. Write your answer in simplest form. 1.1 + 1 10 3 2.1 - 2 4 3 3.6 1 - 4 1 2 5](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e0b5503460f94af2c60/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Least Common Multiple
• A multiple of a number is the product of that number and a whole number.
Example:5 x 0 = 05 x 1 = 55 x 2 = 10 etc…
• We can say that the multiples of 5 are 0, 5, 10, 15, etc…
• As the name suggests the least common multiple of 2 or more numbers is the smallest multiple that the numbers have in common.

Finding the LCM
• There are a number of methods that can be used to find the LCM.
• You can:
1. List the multiples of each number
2. Do a factor tree
3. Use the cake method• For today’s lesson we will look at the cake
method as that is the easiest method…
![Page 8: MJ2A 5.6 – Least Common Multiple. Bellwork Add or subtract. Write your answer in simplest form. 1.1 + 1 10 3 2.1 - 2 4 3 3.6 1 - 4 1 2 5](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e0b5503460f94af2c60/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example
• Find the LCM of 4 and 6
2 4, 6
2 3• The LCM will be 2x2x3 = 12• Notice that the numbers form the shape
of an L to help you remember what to multiply
![Page 9: MJ2A 5.6 – Least Common Multiple. Bellwork Add or subtract. Write your answer in simplest form. 1.1 + 1 10 3 2.1 - 2 4 3 3.6 1 - 4 1 2 5](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e0b5503460f94af2c60/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Example
• Find the LCM of 16 & 24
2 16, 24
2 8 12
2 4 6
2 3• The LCM is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48
![Page 10: MJ2A 5.6 – Least Common Multiple. Bellwork Add or subtract. Write your answer in simplest form. 1.1 + 1 10 3 2.1 - 2 4 3 3.6 1 - 4 1 2 5](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e0b5503460f94af2c60/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How does this help with Common Denominators?
• Knowing the LCM can help you with finding a common denominator when adding or subtracting unlike fractions
• In the previous example suppose you were adding 8/16 & 3/24, you could use the cake method to find the LCM and therefore, know that the smallest number that both 16 and 24 go into is 48
• When using the LCM you minimize the need to simplify the fractions

Your Turn
• In the notes section of your notebook write and find the LCM of the following:
1. 6 & 8
2. 12 & 30
3. 10 & 14
![Page 12: MJ2A 5.6 – Least Common Multiple. Bellwork Add or subtract. Write your answer in simplest form. 1.1 + 1 10 3 2.1 - 2 4 3 3.6 1 - 4 1 2 5](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e0b5503460f94af2c60/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LCM of Monomials
• You can also use the cake method to find the LCM of algebraic monomials
• Find the LCM of 12b2 & 8ab
2b 12b2, 8ab
2 6b 4a
3b 2a• The LCM = 2b x 2 x 3b x 2a = 24ab2

• In the notes section of your notebook write the monomials and then find the LCM of each
1. 12x2y2 & 6y3
2. 15b2 & 25b3
