Can you find the LCM of a prime number?
No. You can only find the LCM of at least two numbers, prime or otherwise. The LCM of any two prime numbers is their product.
Why do you think the least common multiple is not always the product of the two numbers?
The prime factorization of the LCM will contain all the prime factors of the two original numbers. When the original numbers don't have any prime factors in common, (the GCF is 1) the LCM will be their product. When the two original numbers have prime factors in common (the GCF is 2 or more) the duplicates will be discarded and the LCM will be less than their product.
What is the LCM of two numbers is t (always sometimesnever) he product of the two numbers?
The LCM of two numbers is sometimes the product of the two numbers.
Is the product of two prime numbers composite or prime?
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
What is the least common multiple of 6 and 13?
The LCM of 6 and 13 is 78. Because 13 is prime, the LCM of the two numbers is their product.
What is the LCM of two co prime numbers?
Product of the two prime numbers is the LCM. For example 3, 7 have 21 as LCM
Is The LCM of two different prime numbers their product?
Yes,LCM of two numbers is their product.
How can you determine whether the LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product of the numbers?
If the two numbers have no prime factors in common, their LCM will be their product. If there are prime factors in common, their LCM will be less than their product.
How is the LCM related to the relatively prime numbers?
When two numbers are relatively prime, the LCM will be their product.
What is the LCM of two numbers that are prime?
Their product.
When can the LCM of two numbers be the product of the two numbers?
When the numbers are co-prime.
Can you find the LCM of a prime number?
No. You can only find the LCM of at least two numbers, prime or otherwise. The LCM of any two prime numbers is their product.
What is the LCM of two co-prime numbers?
Their product.
What is the LCM of any two prime numbers?
Their product.
How would you explain the LCM of the two numbers is their product?
The LCM of two numbers is their product if and only if the two numbers are co prime, that is their HCF is 1. Otherwise their LCM in not their product, in fact, it is their product divided by their HCF.
What two numbers LCM that is the product of the numbers?
Any two that are relatively prime.
What two numbers have a LCM that is the product of those two numbers?
Numbers that are relatively prime.
