If the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is 36 and the greatest common factor (GCF) is 3, then the two numbers can be found by multiplying the GCF by the LCM. In this case, the pair of numbers would be 3 and 36, as 3 * 36 = 108.

How do you Find a pair of numbers whose LCM is 75 and whose GCF is 5?

75 = 3*5*5, so the first pair that comes to mind is 3*5 and 5*5.LCM(15, 25) = 75.And it conveniently happens to be that GCD*(15, 25) = 5.So {15, 25} is the answer (at least an answer).*GCD is "Greatest Common Divisor" and a more official way of saying GCF.* * * * *Yes, it is an answer.Consider LCM/GCF = 75/5 = 15If p and q are any two coprime factors of LCM/GCF = 15, then p*GCF and q*GCF will be an answer.The above answer used p = 3 and q = 5.The other possible pair is p = 1 and q = 15 which gives the pair as 5 and 75.


What is the gcf of 9 and 24 and 36?

The GCF is 3.


Why is the product of the LCM and HCF the same as the product of the original pair of numbers?

It's the way numbers work. Consider 32 and 33. Consecutive integers are relatively prime, that is, their GCF is 1. If two numbers have a GCF of 1, the LCM will be their product. 32 x 33 = 1056 1 (GCF) x 1056 (LCM) = 1056 2 x 528 = 1056 3 x 352 = 1056 4 x 264 = 1056 Notice the pattern. As the GCF increases, the LCM decreases. Consider 32 and 34. Consecutive even numbers have a GCF of 2. The LCM of 32 and 34 is 544. 32 x 34 = 1088 2 (GCF) x 544 (LCM) = 1088 If you know either the GCF or the LCM of two numbers, you can find the other one without factoring again. The GCF of 28 and 36 is 4. Their product is 1008. Their LCM is 1008 divided by 4, or 252.


Im thinking of 2 numbers 12 and another number have a greatest common factor 6 and their least common multiple is 3 what is the number?

The LCM can't be less than the GCF. 12 and 18 have a GCF of 6 and an LCM of 36.


How do you find a pair of numbers when the GCF is given?

To find a pair of numbers with a given GCF, take the GCF number and double it. The pair of numbers is the GCF, and two times the GCF. For instance, two numbers with a GCF of 3 are 3 and 6.
