Yes. If one number is a factor of the other, the greater number will be the LCM of the two.

When is the LCM of two numbers neither of the numbers?
When their GCF is greater than 1. When they have a prime factor in common.
Is the greatest common factor of two even numbers always even?
Assuming the second even number is equal to 4 or greater, than the highest common factor of the two numbers is equal to an even number 2 or greater. Why can't an odd factor be used? Any odd factor must be multiplied by (at least) 2 to create an even product (ie. the 1st even number). That same odd factor must be multiplied by (at least 2) and any other number to create a 2nd even product, thereby making the Greatest Common Factor (at least) 2 times the odd number....which is an even number.
What number is greater than 0?
any other positive numbers
The ratio of two numbers is 5 to 4 The sum of the numbers is 99 what number is the greater of the two numbers?
55 (the other number is 44).
What are the numbers are composite?
A number which has a factor other than 1 and itself is a composite number.
What is a natural number greater than one that have no other factor except one and themselves?
That describes prime numbers.
What conjecture must be true about the least common multiple of any number pairs in which one number is the greatest common factor of the other number?
Given a pair of numbers, if the lesser of the two is the GCF, the greater of the two is the LCM. This happens when one of the numbers is a factor of the other.
Gcf odd and even number is 10 and the greater number is 57 what is the other number?
The GCF means it's a factor of both numbers. 10 is not a factor of 57.
When is the LCM of two numbers neither of the numbers?
When their GCF is greater than 1. When they have a prime factor in common.
When will the product of given numbers be greater than the LCM of the same given numbers?
When the numbers have a common factor (other than 1).
Is the greatest common factor of two numbers is equal to the lesser of the number?
Well, not always. The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10. But apart from that special circumstance, the statement is true. Apart from a number itself, all of its factors are smaller than it. Apart from a number itself, all of its multiples are larger than it. You can't have a GCF that is greater than the smaller number, and you can't have an LCM that is less than the larger one which means that the LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
Is 14 a factor of any other number?
14 is a factor of some numbers, such as 14, 42, 112, and 2800.14 is not a factor of some other numbers, such as 7, 55, 123, and 1000.If 14 is a factor of a given number, it will evenly divide into that number.
Can a number be a factor of another number?
Yes. Every number is a factor of other numbers - these are multiples of the original number.
When the greatest common factor of 3 numbers the same as one of numbers?
When the lowest number is a factor of the other two.
Is 0 a factor of all numbers?
0 is not a factor of any number other than itself. If N is any number, than there is no other number P such that N = 0 * P and that means that 0 is not a factor of N. The only number that is a factor of all numbers is 1.
Natural numbers greater than one that have no other factor except one and themselves?
Those are called prime numbers.
How do you identify the gcf and LCM of a pair of numbers if one number is a factor of the other number?
The GCF is the factor, the LCM is the other one.
