Question

Which is the LCM of (x + y) and (x + y)2.​

Answer 1

(x+y)²

Explanation:

Given the expressions (x + y) and (x + y)².​

We are to find the LCM of (x + y) and (x + y)²

Taking the factors as shown

(x+y ) || (x + y) (x + y)²

(x+y ) || 1 (x+y)

|| 1 1

Multiplying both factors to get the LCM

= (x+y)(x+y)

= (x+y)²

Hence the LCM of (x + y) and (x + y)² is (x+y)²
