Solve a_{1}2a^2,8,a^3,20,a^2

$$a _ { 1 } 2 a ^ { 2 } , 8 , a ^ { 3 } , 20 , a ^ { 2 }$$

Least Common Multiple

$$40a_{1}a^{3}$$

Solution Steps

Factor the expressions that are not already factored.

$$8=2^{3} 20=2^{2}\times 5$$

Identify all the factors and their highest power in all expressions. Multiply the highest powers of these factors to get the least common multiple.

$$40a_{1}a^{3}$$

Evaluate

$$2a_{1}a^{2},8,a^{3},20,a^{2}$$
