LCM: Factor Tree Method

• Multiplying the two numbers together
• Drawing a tree diagram for each number (correct)
• Listing out all prime factors of both numbers
• Choosing the highest common factor

• It always results in a smaller LCM compared to other methods
• It guarantees the correct answer without any possibility of errors
• It is quicker than using the prime factorization method
• It allows for a visual representation of prime factors (correct)

• They help in identifying the highest common factor
• They serve as the building blocks to decompose numbers into simpler components (correct)
• They are combined to form composite numbers
• They allow for simplification of fractions
