The least common factor is a term often mistakenly given to either the greatest common factor (GCF) or the least common multiple (LCM). This term is not often used because it does not describe a useful relationship between numbers. Since 1 evenly divides all integers, 1 is technically the least common factor for any set of integers.4 and 5 are relatively prime, which means that they share no factors aside from 1.The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
No. The term prime number only applies to integers, such as 37 or 38. 37.5 is not an integer.
Yes, 0.123 is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. 0.123 can be written as 123/1000(123 and 1000 are integers and the denominator is not equal to zero).
A prime number is a number that can only be equally divided by 2 integers 1 and itself
It looks to me as if that's true. I reasoned thusly, and scratched it outon the margin of my coffee-stained notepad:You gave me integers separated by 2, so the integers are [x] and [x+2].-- Their squares are [x2] and (x+2)2-- That's [x2] and [x2 + 4x + 4].-- The sum of their squares is [x2 + x2 + 4x + 4]= [ 2x2 + 4x + 4 ]-- Since [x] is an integer, each term in that trinomial is an integer.-- The coefficients are '2' and '4', so each term is an even number.-- So their sum is even.-- Q.E.D.
