Which is greater the LCM of the number or GCF of the number?
The LCM of a set of numbers will never be less than the GCF.
Which is greater LCM or GCF. Why?
The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10. But apart from that special circumstance, the LCM will never be less than the GCF. Apart from a number itself, all of its factors are smaller than it. Apart from a number itself, all of its multiples are larger than it. You can't have a GCF that is greater than the smaller number, and you can't have an LCM that is less than the larger one. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
Which is greater gcf or LCM?
The LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF.
Is greater the LCM of the numbers or the numbers or the GCF of the numbers?
The LCM will never be less than the GCF of a set of numbers.
What number pair has an LCM of 36 and a gfc of 1?
The pair of numbers whose GCF is 1 and LCM is 36 is 9 and 4. The numbers should be greater than their GCF and less than their LCM.
How do you find the other number when the one number is given with the LCM and the GCF?
The product of the original numbers is equal to the product of the GCF and LCM. Divide the product of the LCM and GCF by the one number. The answer will be the other.
Can a number have the LCM and the gcf the same number?
Only if you're comparing the number to itself. The LCM and GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
What is greater the GCF of 4 and 8 or the LCM?
Given a set of number, the GCF is a factor of every one of them. As a factor, it cannot be larger than them so the GCF is at most as large as the smallest of the number in the set.The LCM of the same set is a multiple of each element in the set. The LCM must, therefore, be at least as great as the largest element in the set.Thus if x is the smallest member of a set S and y is the largest, thenGCF
Can the LCM and the GCF of 2 numbers be the same number?
Only if they're the same number. The LCM and GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
When will the LCM and GCF be the same?
When you are comparing a number to itself. The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10.
What is the LCM of 8 and 15 if the lesser number is a factor of the greater number?
The LCM of 8 and 15 is 120. If the lesser number were a factor of the greater number, the LCM would be the greater number.
How do you identify the gcf and LCM of a pair of numbers if one number is a factor of the other number?
The GCF is the factor, the LCM is the other one.
