  1. Least Common Multiples

    What is the least common multiple of 15 and 24?

    15 = 3 * 5 and 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3, Eliminate one of each of the common factors (3) and multiply the rest of the prime factors, LCM = 120

    What is the least common multiple of 12 and 30?

    12 = 2 * 2 * 3 and 30 = 2 * 3 * 5, Follow the same procedure as above, eliminate 2 & 3, LCM = 60

    Distance = Rate * Time

    Rate = Distance/Time

    Time = Distance/Rate
