What's the lcm for 18, 27, 12? I got 648. Am not sure if it is correct. Can you please explain if it is correct or not?

Step-by-step explanation:

Put these numbers into their prime factors.

18: 2 * 3 * 3

27: 3 * 3 * 3

12: 2 * 2 * 3

The LCM must have

two 2s

Three 3s

That's it

2*2 * 3 * 3 * 3

LCM = 108

648 might be a multiple of the three, but it's not the smallest one.

108 = 27 * 4

108 = 18 * 6

108 = 12 * 9

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.
