24 and 48 have a GCF of 24 and an LCM of 48.
Also 18 and 27.
You don't. LCM and GCF (HCF) refer to whole numbers. You can find the LCM of two whole numbers that happen to be denominators, but in that case we call it the LCD. You can find the GCF of two whole numbers that happen to be the numerator and denominator of a fraction, and that will let you know whether the fraction can be simplified.You can use the GCF of the denominators to find their LCM (LCD). For example,1/18 + 1/24GCF = 6 because 18 = 6*3 and 24 = 6*4, thus LCD = 18*4 = 24*3 = 721/18 + 1/24 = (1*4)/(18*4) + (1*3)/(24*3) = 4/72 + 3/72 = 7/72.
You cannot. The numbers 2 and 12 have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 The numbers 4 and 6 also have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 So if you just knew the hcf and LCM you would not know which of the two was the required pair.
14 and 15
The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
Since the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM, the GCF of two numbers is equal to their product divided by their LCM and their LCM is equal to their product divided by their GCF.
The GCF of two numbers multiplied by their LCM will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the GCF, divide it into the product of the two. The result will be the LCM. If the GCF of two numbers is 1, the LCM is their product.
The product of the GCF and LCM is equal to the product of the original two numbers.
The LCM of two numbers multiplied by their GCF will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the LCM, divide it into the product. The result will be the GCF.
The product of the GCF and the LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the original two numbers. Multiply the GCF and the LCM. The original two numbers will be another factor pair of that total. Find the factor pair that has that GCF and LCM.
Hardly ever.
The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
No.The gcf of two numbers is LESS THAN OR EQUAL than their lcm.The gcf of two DIFFERENT numbes is LESS THAN their lcm.
One way to check: The product of the original two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM. If you divide that product by their GCF, you will get the LCM.
The general rule is that the product of the LCM and the GCF is equal to the product of the original two numbers. That would make the answer 20. Lets overlook the fact that two numbers with a GCF of 15 and an LCM of 20 don't exist.
They are both found from the relationships between the members of a given set of numbers. They have kind of an inverse relationship. Since the product of the LCM and GCF of two numbers is equal to the product of the original numbers, when the GCF increases, the LCM decreases and vice versa.
