It belongs to any set that contains it: for example, {4.75, -12, pi, sqrt(5), 29}.

It belongs to the set of integers

which is a proper subset of rational numbers

which is a proper subset of real numbers

which is a proper subset of complex numbers.

So -12 belongs to all the above sets.

How do you factor negative numbers?

The same as with positive numbers. The factors of negative numbers have the same absolute value. One set positive, one set negative. Example: -12 1,2,3,4,6,12,-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-12


What is a least common multiple?

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest multiple that is common to two or more numbers.Example: The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12, it is the smallest integer greater than zero that has both 4 and 6 as factors.Example: Take the numbers 7 and 2. There is no number smaller than 14 that you can divide by BOTH 7 and 2 and get an integer answer. (An integer is a whole number). Therefore, 14 is the LCM for 7 and 2.Sometimes, the LCM is one of the numbers itself. For example, the LCM of 4 and 8 is 8, because 8 is divisible by 4 and 8.The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest number that a set of given numbers will divide into evenly.The least (lowest) common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder.The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder.


Is the number 12 a natural number whole number integer rational number or an irrational number?

The number 12 is a natural number, a whole number, an integer, and a rational number. A natural number is a positive integer starting from 1, which includes 12. Whole numbers include all natural numbers along with zero, so 12 is also a whole number. Integers include all whole numbers along with their negatives, making 12 an integer. Lastly, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction, and 12 can be written as 12/1, making it a rational number.


What is the highest number that is a factor of both 12 and 30?

There is no such number. Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be higher than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a highestmultiple.


What are the 12 first composite numbers?

The first 12 composite numbers are.... 4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,A composite number is basically any number that can go into that number, so like 15 is a composite number because 15x1=15,and then 5x3=15. That's two or more pair of numbers.
