6

6

divides by

26 = 3 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3

Prime factorization of

4 : 2 \cdot 2

4

divides by

24 = 2 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 12

= 12

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

12

For

\frac{5 π}{6} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{5 π}{6} = \frac{5 π 2}{6 \cdot 2} = \frac{10 π}{12}

For

\frac{5 π}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{5 π}{4} = \frac{5 π 3}{4 \cdot 3} = \frac{15 π}{12}

= \frac{10 π}{12} + \frac{15 π}{12}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{10 π + 15 π}{12}

Add similar elements:

10 π + 15 π = 25 π

= \frac{25 π}{12}

= tan (\frac{25 π}{12})

tan (\frac{25 π}{12}) = tan (\frac{π}{12})

tan (\frac{25 π}{12})

Rewrite

\frac{25 π}{12}

π \cdot 2 + \frac{π}{12}

= tan (π 2 + \frac{π}{12})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

tan (x + π \cdot k) = tan (x)

tan (π \cdot 2 + \frac{π}{12}) = tan (\frac{π}{12})

= tan (\frac{π}{12})

= tan (\frac{π}{12})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{tan ( \frac{π}{4} ) - tan ( \frac{π}{6} )}{1 + tan ( \frac{π}{4} ) tan ( \frac{π}{6} )}

tan (\frac{π}{12})

Write

tan (\frac{π}{12})

tan (\frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{6})

= tan (\frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{6})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

tan (s - t) = \frac{tan ( s ) - tan ( t )}{1 + tan ( s ) tan ( t )}

= \frac{tan ( \frac{π}{4} ) - tan ( \frac{π}{6} )}{1 + tan ( \frac{π}{4} ) tan ( \frac{π}{6} )}

= \frac{tan ( \frac{π}{4} ) - tan ( \frac{π}{6} )}{1 + tan ( \frac{π}{4} ) tan ( \frac{π}{6} )}
