Multiple Choice

A facility manager is scheduling maintenance for two different systems. System A requires service every 12 days, and System B requires service every 18 days. To find the first day both systems will need service at the same time, the manager determines the prime factorizations: 12=22312 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 and 18=23318 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3. According to the prime factor method, which product of primes should the manager use to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?
