An inventory manager needs to coordinate the delivery of two components. Component A arrives every 12 days, and Component B arrives every 18 days. To determine the next day both will arrive simultaneously, the manager uses the prime factors method to find the least common multiple (LCM). Arrange the following steps in the correct order as they would be used to find the LCM of 12 and 18.

An inventory manager is coordinating two delivery schedules: Component A arrives every 12 days, and Component B arrives every 18 days. According to the prime factors method demonstrated in the course, what is the least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 18?

A facility manager is using the prime factors method to determine when two maintenance cycles of 12 and 18 days will align. Based on the steps shown in the example, match each part of the calculation to its correct value or expression.

A logistics coordinator uses the prime factors method to determine when two recurring shipments, one every ${}12$ days and another every ${}18$ days, will next arrive on the same date. According to the example, after identifying the prime factors and calculating the product ${}2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3$, the coordinator finds the least common multiple (LCM) to be ____.

A maintenance supervisor is coordinating the service schedules for two machines. Machine A is serviced every ${}12$ days, and Machine B is serviced every ${}18$ days. According to the prime factors method example, the supervisor determines that the next time both machines will require service on the same day is in ${}36$ days.
