Perhaps it makes sense to ask; in any case, the answer is that there is no greatest and no smallest integer. Whatever number you choose, you can always add one to get an even larger integer; or subtract one to get an even smaller one.

Why the numbers between each whole number are not part of the solution set?

That will depend on the conditions of the question. In some cases the answer must be an integer because fractional solutions do not make sense in the real world.Suppose I need to find how many 20-seater coaches are needed for a group of 46 people. An answer of 2.3 coaches makes no sense. If I need more than 2 coaches, it has to be 3 (or more)! I cannot get any value between 2 and 3.That will depend on the conditions of the question.

Make a conjecture about what must be true about the least common multiple of any number pairs in which one number is the greatest common factors of the other number?

Is the product of an integer is an integer?

It is not possible to have the product of an integer. "product" is a binary operation and that means that it is an operation that combines two numbers to make the product - a third number. So you need two numbers as input, not just one.


What statement is true if p is an integer and q is a nonzero integer fraction?

Any fraction p/q where p is an integer and q is a non-zero integer is rational.


Can the same rules be used to determine the sign of an integer sum and an integer product?

No.For the sum of integers:-- two positives make a positive-- two negatives make a negative-- the sum of mixed signs is the sign of the one with the greater absolute valueFor the product of integers:-- like signs make a positive-- unlike signs make a negative

What is the greatest common multiple of 10 15 and 25?

This question does not make sense as asked.The least common multiple of 10 15 and 25 is 150.The greatest common multiple is 150 x n where n is any number you like. No matter how big you make n, there is always a bigger one. Since there can't be a greatest n, there can't be a greatest common multiple.


What is the lest common factor of 3518?

The least (not "lest"!) common factor (HCF) would refer to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! So, from that point of view, the question makes no sense. Furthermore, the least factor of any integer is always 1, so again, the question makes no sense. I suggest that you try to make sure that your question makes at some sense.

If a list of seven positive integers has a mean of 5 what is the greatest possible integer in the list?

297 integers, with an average of 5, multiply that to get what their sum was before averaging (=35). Make 6 of the integers 1 to find that greatest possible integer in the list.-Cheers.Actually you make 6 of your integers 1 you would get something else
