Find the LCM of 11(s-3) and 33(s-3).
LCM of 11 is 11*1
LCM of 33 is 3*11
LCM is 11*3*1=33
What do I do from here?
I put down 33(s-3) was the answer but I don't think that is right.
Thanks for your help.
To find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of two terms, you need to first find the prime factors of each term.
Let's start with 11(s-3):
11 is already a prime number, so it cannot be factored any further.
Next, let's consider 33(s-3):
33 can be factored as 3 * 11.
Now that we have the prime factorization of both terms, we can determine the LCM. The LCM is the product of the highest powers of all the prime factors involved.
In this case, the prime factors are 3 and 11. Both are raised to the power of 1 in their respective terms. Therefore, the LCM is simply 3 * 11, which equals 33.
Hence, the correct answer is 33, not 33(s-3).
