30 and 60
Possiblilty is almost 1/2 cause every two numbers is a number with a factor of 2.From 2: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...
2 and 3
2 and 3
The least common multiple is number n multiplied by number m divided by their greatest common factor.The prime factors of 36 are 2, 2, 3, and 3.The two numbers share a factor of 3. The remaining prime factors are 2, 2, and 3. So, if we multiply 3 by 2 x 2 and 3 by 3, we have the pair of numbers 12 and 9. Or, if we multiply 3 by 2 x 2 x 3 and 3 by 1, we have the pair of numbers 36 and 3.Note: We cannot split the two 2s, because then each number would have 2 as a factor, which would change the greatest common factor to 6.Our possible two numbers:9 and 123 and 36
1 + 2 = 3 which is a factor of 96 (32*3 = 96)

A factor pair is two numbers. A factor pair is the set of two factors that when multiplied together result in the number of which they are factors. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The factor pairs are 1 x 12, 2 x 6, and 3 x 4.
First you Prime Factorize the two (or more) numbers. The LCM of the two (or more) numbers must contain all the prime factors of the two (or more) numbers that made it. To find the LOWEST common multiple, for each prime factor, find from one of the numbers where the prime factor has the highest power. The highest powers of each prime multiply together to form the LCM of the numbers. e.g. LCM of 36 and 24 36 = (2^2)(3^2) 24 = (2^3)3 LCM = (2^3)(3^2) = 72
The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is: 6The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. 2 and 3 are both prime, so their greatest common factor is 1.6
1 and 3
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
The greatest common factor of 2 and 3 is 1. This is because 2 and 3 are prime numbers, that is, they only have themselves and one as factors. NOTE: Any time that one of the numbers is a prime number and the other is not a multiple of that prime number, the greatest common factor is 1. Another way to approach this, especially with larger numbers (but this makes a good example) is to look at the difference between 2 and 3, which is 1. The greatest common factor of two numbers cannot be larger than the difference between the two numbers and must be a factor of the difference. If the difference is 1, the greatest common factor is 1.
