There is not a Highest Common Multiple of a pair of numbers because the multiples can go on and on "forever."

When working with fractions, the number needed is the Least Common Multiple. One way to find the LCM is to list the multiples of the denominators until you find one that is common to both numbers. For example, 3 and 7:

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 21, 24...

7: 7, 14, 21...

21 is the LCM of 3 and 7.

What is the HCM of 35 and 40?

The highest common multiple (HCM) of two numbers is the smallest multiple that is evenly divisible by both. For 35 and 40, you can find the HCM by first determining their least common multiple (LCM). The LCM of 35 and 40 is 280, as it is the smallest number that both can divide into without leaving a remainder. Therefore, the HCM of 35 and 40 is 280.


What is the answer to this question two numbers have a lcm of 24 and a hcm of 2 what is the answer?

This question as written has no rational answer since the value of an hcm, being infinite, is unquantifiable. If you change the hcm to GCF, you could use 6 and 8 or 24 and 2.

How do you find a pair of numbers when the GCF is given?

To find a pair of numbers with a given GCF, take the GCF number and double it. The pair of numbers is the GCF, and two times the GCF. For instance, two numbers with a GCF of 3 are 3 and 6.


What is the HCM of 32 and 48?

There is really so such thing as a "highest common multiple." 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 larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a highest multiple.

How do you find two numbers if HCF and LCM are known?

The product of the GCF and the LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the original two numbers. Multiply the GCF and the LCM. The original two numbers will be another factor pair of that total. Find the factor pair that has that GCF and LCM.
