Lease Common Multiple is $336xy$

Let us first factorize all monomials

$48x=2xx2xx2xx2xx3xx x$

$24yx=2xx2xx2xx3xxyxx x$

$42x=2xx3xx7xx x$

Observe that this uses $2$ , $3$ , $7$ , $x$ and $y$ .

and in a single monomial, $2$ occurs maximum $4$ times and $3$ , $7$ , $x$ and $y$ occur not more than once.

Hence Lease Common Multiple is

$2xx2xx2xx2xx3xx7xx x xxy=336xy$
