There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.Besides, the word "common" implies that the multiple is common to two or more numbers. There is only one number in the question.
The greatest factor that two or more numbers have in common is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite. The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers will never be one.
The greatest common factor of 99 and 25 is 1. There are not other numbers that are common between them.
The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.
There cannot be a greatest common factor if there are not at least two numbers to compare. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers have in common - the largest factor that they all share.
The greatest of the common factors of two or more numbers is the GCF
20 and 30 are two numbers that have the greatest common factor of 10.
Two numbers that have the greatest common factor of 14 are 28 and 42.
No. There is not a greatest common factor of a single number, such as 37, because there cannot be a greatest common factor without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers being compared have in common.
Yes, the least common multiple of two numbers is always divisible by those numbers' greatest common factor.
It is meaningless to ask "What are the greatest common factor of 9". There should be two or more numbers. Greatest common factor means the greatest number which is the common factor of all the numbers mentioned.
