Best Answer

Because a complex number is a two dimensional entity. The concept of less than or greater than, for ordinary numbers, is one-dimensional. It can be applied to the magnitude (absolute value) of a complex number.

Is 12 times a Complex Number greater than 5 times the same complex Number?

Although the magnitude of 12 times a complex number will be greater than 5 times the same complex number, complex numbers are not ordered in the same way that ordinary numbers are. So you cannot compare 12*(x+iy) and 5*(x+iy).


When is the GCF of two numbers the same as the lesser of the two numbers?

When that number is a factor of the greater one.


If one number is a factor of another number will the GCF always be the lesser number?

Consider this:If A can be split into AB, where B is the lesser number (factor), then it can divide in. Thus, the GCF of the 2 numbers must be the lesser number, so that is true.
