Documentation of the Prime Factor Method for Cycle Synchronization

As part of a training manual for new operations assistants, you are required to document the 'Prime Factors Method' used to synchronize two production cycles of 24 and 36 minutes. To demonstrate your mastery of the standard procedure taught in this course, write a brief response that outlines the specific steps for finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 24 and 36. In your response, you must:

  1. List the prime factorization for both 24 and 36.
  2. Identify the specific set of prime factors that are 'brought down' from the aligned columns to calculate the LCM.
  3. State the final multiplication used to arrive at the LCM of 72.
