Question: Find the L.C.M. between x⁴ +x²y² +y⁴ and x³ -y³.

Solution:
Given,

1st expression: x⁴ +x²y² +y⁴
= (x⁴ +y⁴) + x²y²
= (x²)² + (y²)² + x²y²
= (x² +y²) - 2x²y² +x²y²
= (x² +y²) - x²y²
= (x² +y²) - (xy)²
= (x² +xy +y²) (x² -xy +y²)

2nd expression: x³ -y³
= (x-y)(x²+xy+y²)

Now,

Lowest Common Multiples (LCM) = common factors* rest factors

= (x² +xy +y²) * (x-y)(x² -xy +y²)
= (x² -xy +y²) (x-y)(x²+xy+y²)
= (x² -xy +y²) (x³ -y³)
