  2. Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 9-5 Find the least common multiple of 2x2 – 8x + 8 and 15x2 – 60. Step 1:  Find the prime factors of each expression. 2x2 – 8x + 8 = (2)(x2 – 4x + 4) = (2)(x – 2)(x – 2) 15x2 – 60 = (15)(x2 – 4) = (3)(5)(x – 2)(x + 2) Step 2: Write each prime factor the greatest number of times it appears in either expression. Simplify where possible. (2)(3)(5)(x – 2)(x – 2)(x + 2) = 30(x – 2)2(x + 2) The least common multiple is 30(x + 2)(x – 2)2. 9-5
