Answer:
LCM of both polynomials=[tex]\mathbf{5m^3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Least Common Multiple
We are given the polynomials
[tex]5m^7+ 35m^6+50m^5[/tex]
[tex]-20m^5-80m^4+100m^3[/tex]
Find the common factors of each polynomial, first the coefficients:
5 = 5
35 = 5*7
50 = 5*5*2
The common factor with the least exponent; 5
Now for the variables:
[tex]m^7, m^6, m^5[/tex]
The common factor with the least exponent; m^5
LCM of [tex]5m^7+ 35m^6+50m^5: 5m^5[/tex]
Similarly:
20 = 2*2*5
80=2*2*2*2*5
100 = 2*2*5*5
Common factor of the coefficients: 2*2*5=20
Common factor of variables: [tex]m^3[/tex]
LCM of [tex]-20m^5-80m^4+100m^3 = 20m^3[/tex]
LCM of both polynomials=[tex]\mathbf{5m^3}[/tex]
