Least Common Multiples

Here is a video about least common multiples. It starts off by talking about common denominators - we will talk more about this next week, so don't worry about that too much. What I really want you to focus on today is finding least common multiples - we do this so that we can find common denominators, but let's just focus on one thing at a time - LCM for today!  Remember to take good written notes in the note section.

FOR YOUR PRACTICE:
1) List the first five multiples of 7
2) Find the least common multiple of 5 and 8
