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.
-- Addition always does if both are positive. -- Multiplication does if, for example, both are positive and greater than ' 1 '. -- Exponentiation does if, for example, both the base and exponent are positive and greater than ' 1 ' .
The LCM is never less than the greatest number in the set. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36.
All rational numbers are examples of numbers which are both rational and real.
Greater than one, numbers are either composite or prime, never both.
No, it's never greater than the lesser number.
No but it can be the same as the biggest number as for example the gcf of 30 and 15 is 30
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.

No, not when negative numbers are involved. For example, -2 is a multiple of both -1 and 1 and is not greater than either.
Answer: It will be greater than both the numbers. Answer: It may be greater, equal, or less than the numbers. Examples: 2 x 3 = 6 (greater than both factors) 0.5 x 0.4 = 0.2 (smaller than both factors)
Yes & No...For example, 230 is greater than 180, but if you are comparing two numbers that are both less than 100, then the answer is no. For example 83 is greater than 39.
Not at all. For example: gcf(101, 102) = 1 gcf(40, 80) = 40
The LCM is never less than the greatest number in the set. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36.
Yes it is.
no, it is mathematically impossible.
All rational numbers are examples of numbers which are both rational and real.
Neither, both numbers are exactly the same.
