Let the sum of series a1,.., an = A. Since ai >0.

Then the maximum possible product of a1,..,an is = (A/n)n.

This result basically comes the relation between the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of n positive numbers.

A/n >= (a1...an)(1/n).

The equality case of the above relation gives the maximum product (by raising the power by n on both sides).

What is the product of the greatest common factor and least common multiple mean?

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. 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 product of those two numbers is the answer when they are multiplied together.

What is the difference between a greatest common factor and a 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 of any set of integers is 1.

How are lcm and gcf alike?

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. 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. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
