Is the gcf of a pair of numbers ever greater than both numbers and explain with a example?

A number can't have a factor greater than itself, so the GCF of a pair of numbers can't ever be greater than the smaller number. The GCF of 9 and 18 is 9.


Is the GCF of a pair of numbers ever greater than both nombers?

No, it's never greater than the smallest number.


Is the greatest conman factor of a pair of numbers ever greater than both numbers?

No. At most, it can be equal to the smaller number.


Is the Greatest common factor a pair of numbers ever greater than both nbrrs?

No, it's never greater than the smallest number.


Is the LCM a pair of numbers ever less than both numbers?

No.


Can the LCM of a pair of numbers ever be less than both numbers?

No.


Is the least common multiple of a pair of numbers ever less then both numbers?

No.


Is the greatest common factor of a pair of numbers ever greater than both numbers explain with an example?

I can't give you an example of when that happens because that doesn't ever happen. The GCF of a pair of numbers can't be larger than the smaller number.


Is LCM of a pair of numbers ever less than both number?

No.


Will a pair of numbers each greater than 100 always have a greater gcf than a pair of numbers that are both less than 100?

Not at all. For example: gcf(101, 102) = 1 gcf(40, 80) = 40


Does a pair of numbers each greater than 100 always have a greater greatest common denominator than a pair of numbers that are both less than 100?

No. Although the greatest common denominator of a pair of numbers is infinite, the size of the numbers doesn't affect the GCF as much as the difference between them. The GCF of 100 and 102 is 2. The GCf of 33 and 66 is 33.


Which is greater 0.45 0r 0.067?

0.45 is greater than 0.067 When determining greater, start by lining up the numbers at the decimal point and compare the digit farthest left in both numbers. This works for any pair of numbers. 0.45 0.067 Since the first digit in both numbers is the same, we move on to the next digit. 4 is greater than 0, which means 0.45 is greater than 0.067
