To find two numbers with a greatest common factor (GCF) of 15 and a least common multiple (LCM) of 270, we can use the relationship between GCF, LCM, and the two numbers. The relationship is LCM(a,b) = (a * b) / GCF(a,b). Given GCF = 15 and LCM = 270, we can substitute these values into the formula to get 270 = (15 * b) / 15. Solving for b gives us b = 270 / 15 = 18. Therefore, the two numbers are 15 and 18.

To find the LCM and GCF of numbers at least two or more numbers are neeeded.
If the GCF and the LCM are both 144, then so are both of the numbers.
8 and 360
The LCM will never be less than the GCF. To be a multiple of both numbers, the LCM will have to be equal to or greater than the larger number. To be a factor of both numbers, the GCF will have to be equal to or less than the smaller number. The only problem comes when you're comparing a number to itself. The LCM of 10 and 10 is 10. The GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
Only if they're the same number. The LCM and GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
