$x^{3} y^{2}$ $x^3y^2$

$x^{3} y \Rightarrow x \times x \times x \times y$ $x^3y => x xx x xx x xx y$

$x^{2} y^{2} \Rightarrow x \times x \times y \times y$ $x^2y^2 => x xx x xx y xx y$

The common factors are $x \times x \times y$ $x xx x xx y$

Multiply the other factors to get the $LCM$ $"LCM"$

$\Rightarrow x \times x \times y \times x \times y$ $=> x xx x xx y xx x xx y$

$\Rightarrow x \times x \times x \times y \times y$ $=> x xx x xx x xx y xx y$

$\Rightarrow x^{3} \times y^{2}$ $=> x^3 xx y^2$

$\Rightarrow x^{3} y^{2}$ $=> x^3y^2$
