Name numbers that least common multiple is the same as its factor?
All numbers with a least common multiple, have that multiple as a factor.
How do you know whether to use the greatest common factor or the least common multiple to solve a problem?
the least common multiple is what the numbers you are using divide into. e.g. 3 and 6 have 12 as the common factor. the greatest common factor is what divides into your numbers. 6 and 9 have 3 as the greatest common factor
Greatest common factor and least common multiple?
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that will divide into all the members of a given set of numbers evenly. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest number that all the members of a given set will divide into evenly. Example: 30 and 42 The GCF is 6. The LCM is 210.
Why do you not divide to find a common denominator?
Because a common denominator of a set of numbers is a multiple - not a factor - of each one. A multiple, as might be expected from its name, requires multiplication, not division.
What numbers can divide evenly?
A factor can divide into its multiple evenly.
If 3 is not a common factor of a pair of numbers what other numbers cant be common factors explain?
If they don't both divide by 3 then no multiple of 3 can be a common factor...
What does multiple and factor mean in math?
the multiple means the number used to multiply. And the factor means a number to multiply or divide by
What is the least common factor of 16 24 32?
The least common factor of any sets of numbers is 1.The least common MULTIPLE, the smallest number into which all the numbers divide, of 16, 24 and 32 is 96The HIGHEST common factor, the largest number which divides into all the numbers, of 16, 24 and 32 is 8.There is no HIGHEST common MULTIPLE as whatever value is said to be it can be increased by adding their LOWEST common MULTIPLE to get an even higher common multiple.
What is the difference between a least common factor and least common multiple?
The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder. The least common factor is the smallest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. Since 1 is a common factor of every number, it is always the least common factor.
What is the lowest common multiple of 30 and the greatest common factor of 3?
There is no answer. There cannot be a lowest common multiple of a single number, such as 30, because "common multiple" means a multiple that two or more numbers have in common. Likewise, there cannot be a highest common factor of a single number, such as 3, because "common factor" means a factor that two or more numbers have in common.
What is the least common multiple for 6 and 18?
6 is a factor of 18, so the least common multiple is 18.
