LCM and GCF are almost never equal.
GCF - Greatest Common Factor (GCF is always smaller or equal to at least one of the numbers) LCM - Least Common Multiple (LCM is always greater or equal to at least one of the numbers)
False, they're rarely equal. GCF of 12 and 4 is 4 LCM of 12 and 4 is 12
Hardly ever.
The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10.
Since the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM, the GCF of two numbers is equal to their product divided by their LCM and their LCM is equal to their product divided by their GCF.
Because the GCF is the largest factor common to all the numbers in the sample. The LCM is the smallest number that all the sample numbers will divide into !
In number theory, the product of two positive integers will equal the product of their GCF and LCM. Dividing that product by one of them will give you the other.
The product of the GCF and LCM is equal to the product of the original two numbers.
only if they are equal
The LCM of two numbers multiplied by their GCF will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the LCM, divide it into the product. The result will be the GCF.
The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
2 x 12 = 24, but there's an easier way if you remember that the product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers will always be equal to the product of the two numbers.
