Lowest Common Multiple (Prime Factorizations)

Let a and b be integers. A common multiple of a and b is an integer n for which a|n and b|n. We call an integer m the least common multiple of n provided (1) m is positive, (2) m is a common multiple of a and b, and (3) if n is any other positive common multiple of a and b, then n [greater than or equal to] m. The notation for the least common multiple of a and b is lcm(a,b). For example, lcm(24,30)=120. Please do the following: (a) Develop a formula for the least common multiple of two positive integers in terms of their prime factorizations; your formula should be similar to the in Theorem 36.5 (b) Use your formula to show: If a and b are positive integers, then ab=gcd(a,b)lcm... click for more
