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.

Which computation results in a number that is greater than the two given numbers?
-- 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 ' .
Is the LCM of a pair of numbers ever less than both numbers explain with an example?
The LCM is never less than the greatest number in the set. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36.
What are example of both real and rational numbers?
All rational numbers are examples of numbers which are both rational and real.
Is the gcf of a pair of numbers ever greater than both numbers?
No, it's never greater than the lesser number.
Give two composite numbers that are also prime numbers?
Greater than one, numbers are either composite or prime, never both.
Is the gcf of numbers ever greater than both numbers example?
No but it can be the same as the biggest number as for example the gcf of 30 and 15 is 30

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 a multiple always greater than the 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.
When you multiply 2 positive numbers will the number be equal to or greater than both numbers?
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)
Can a number with a 3 in the tens place be greater than a number with an 8 in the tens place?
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.
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
Which is greater 16.2 or 16.200?
Both numbers are the same.
Is the LCM of a pair of numbers ever less than both numbers explain with an example?
The LCM is never less than the greatest number in the set. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36.
Is it possible for the average of two numbers to be greater than both numbers?
no, it is mathematically impossible.
Is the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers greater than both numbers?
Yes it is.
What are example of both real and rational numbers?
All rational numbers are examples of numbers which are both rational and real.
