We'll break it down step by step, making sure everyone understands how to solve it. This problem is designed to test our understanding of LCM and how to apply it in a practical scenario. The key here is to stay organized, take things slowly, and ensure we understand each concept thoroughly. Once we've grasped the fundamentals, we can confidently tackle any LCM problem thrown our way. So, grab your calculators, your thinking caps, and let's get started! We are going to use all we've learned to solve a problem that requires us to think critically and apply our LCM knowledge effectively. Understanding the method to solve the problem, which involves finding the LCM, is crucial for solving similar problems in the future. Let's start with the basics and work our way to the solution. The main objective is to ensure we grasp the problem's method completely. This way, we will be well-prepared to solve similar problems in the future.

Understanding the Problem and Keywords

So, the problem states that the common multiples of 72, 96, 6, and 8, that are less than 150, are written on cards from left to right in ascending order. The question asks us to find the value of (A+?). Understanding the keywords is the key to tackling any math problem. Least Common Multiple (LCM) is the main concept, which is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more numbers. The problem presents a real-world application of LCM, making it more engaging. Keywords like 'common multiples,' 'less than 150,' and 'ascending order' provide essential constraints and context. To solve the problem effectively, we need to understand how to find the LCM of the given numbers. Then, we must identify all the multiples of that LCM that are less than 150. These multiples will represent the numbers written on the cards, arranged from left to right in increasing order. Finally, we'll analyze the provided information and determine the values needed to calculate (A+?). Grasping these keywords will set the foundation for solving the problem correctly. Let's take a closer look at how to calculate the LCM of a set of numbers. This step is crucial for progressing towards the solution, so we'll focus on it carefully. We'll cover each step in detail, ensuring you understand the logic behind the calculations.

Finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM)

To solve this problem, the very first step is to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 72, 96, 6, and 8. There are a couple of ways to do this, but the most common method is to use prime factorization. First, let's break down each number into its prime factors: 72 = 2^3 * 3^2, 96 = 2^5 * 3, 6 = 2 * 3, and 8 = 2^3. Now, to find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the factorizations. So, for the prime factor 2, the highest power is 2^5 (from 96), and for the prime factor 3, the highest power is 3^2 (from 72). Therefore, the LCM of 72, 96, 6, and 8 is 2^5 * 3^2 = 32 * 9 = 288. Oops! Our LCM is 288, which is greater than 150. We need to correct it. Let's find a more direct way to calculate the LCM correctly. Since we're looking for common multiples less than 150, we must take this constraint into account during our calculations. The correct approach involves determining the multiples of 72, 96, 6, and 8 and then listing those that are below 150. This revised approach will help us solve the problem correctly. Now, it's worth noting that the LCM of 6, 8, 72, and 96 must be a multiple of each number. This means it will be a multiple of 96. Considering this, we need to find the multiples of 96 that are also multiples of 6, 8, and 72, and less than 150. Therefore, the correct approach involves listing multiples of the numbers, not the LCM, below 150. The multiples are then written on the cards from left to right, so the numbers on the cards will be 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144. We must find the numbers less than 150 that are common multiples of all the given numbers (6, 8, 72, and 96). Once we know the multiples, we can put them on the cards and find the numbers, using the provided instructions.

Determining the Numbers on the Cards

Now, let's determine which numbers will be written on the cards. We need to find the common multiples of 6, 8, 72, and 96 that are less than 150. The common multiples of 6 and 8 are multiples of their LCM, which is 24. We then see which multiples of 24 are also multiples of 72 and 96. The multiples of 24 are 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120, 144. After checking, the common multiples less than 150 for all the numbers are the following numbers: 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144. This gives us all the numbers written on the cards. The numbers are written from left to right in ascending order, so they should be arranged as: 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144. With the list created, we can now identify the numbers in their specific spots on the cards. The first value, marked as A, will be 6, and the other numbers will follow. Now, you have the list, and you can easily determine which number falls into which position. If the prompt states the position of any other number, you can solve it in a flash. If the position of A is given to us and you know the position of another number on the cards, you can easily solve it.

Solving for (A + ?)

Once we have determined the correct numbers and their order, we can now solve the question: "(A+) kaçtır? +✰ işleminin sonucu". We can determine from the prompt that the first number is A. As determined in the previous steps, the first card has the number 6. The position of the second value on the cards is not mentioned in the problem, so we cannot know the value of the second number. However, the prompt mentions "+✰ işleminin sonucu", implying that we need to find the value of the unknown part of the equation, which is not clear in the prompt. There might be some missing information in the problem that isn't there. It would be hard to determine the correct numbers and solve the problem since there is no information about the second part. Nevertheless, if the problem provided any more information, we would have been able to solve it in an instant. Now, we have successfully worked through the LCM problem. We have identified the key concepts, found the LCM, and determined the numbers written on the cards in ascending order. Although there is some information missing, we learned the method and will be ready to solve more problems related to it.
