How Do You Find the Least Common Multiple by Multiplying Common Factors?

Summary

1. 2 is prime, but 4 is not so we have to factor it further
2. 2 occurs the most in 8's factorization, so we'll use that many 2's to find the LCM
3. 3 occurs the most in 6's factorization, so we'll use that many 3's to find the LCM
