The question wants to know the least common multiple of 4 and 12. The way to do this is to find the prime factors of these numbers. In this case:
4=2x2
12=2x2x3
The next step is to find any common factors and discard the duplicate. Both numbers have two 2s, so we can discard 2 of these. That leaves us with 2, 2 and 3. Multiply these to give the LCF:
2x2x3=12
Thus 12 is the smallest number that has both 4 and 12 as a factor.

Prime numbers, raised to a power, have one more factor than their exponents. The smallest prime number is 2. 210 has eleven factors. 210 = 1024
To find the least common denominator, you simply find the smallest number that can divide into both 50 and 60. So 5 is the smallest number that will divide into 50 and 60. The answer is 5
To find the smallest number divisible by both 12345678 and 9, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two numbers. The LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 12345678 and 9. To calculate the LCM, we first need to find the prime factors of each number. The prime factorization of 12345678 is 2 x 3 x 47 x 14593, and the prime factorization of 9 is 3^2. The LCM is then the product of the highest power of each prime factor, which is 2 x 3^2 x 47 x 14593 = 12345678. Therefore, the smallest number divisible by both 12345678 and 9 is 12345678.
Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.
The smallest factor is always 1.

The greatest common factor is the largest number that is evenly divisible by both numbers, so if you divide both numerator and denominator by GCF, the numerator and denominator will be the smallest integers possible, and still be an equivalent fraction.
Prime numbers, raised to a power, have one more factor than their exponents. The smallest prime number is 2. 210 has eleven factors. 210 = 1024
To find the smallest possible number that satisfies both conditions, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 7, which is 28. Adding 2 to the LCM gives us the smallest number that leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by both 4 and 7. Therefore, the smallest possible number is 30.
To find the least common denominator, you simply find the smallest number that can divide into both 50 and 60. So 5 is the smallest number that will divide into 50 and 60. The answer is 5
To find the second smallest number that has 12345 as factors, we need to consider the prime factorization of 12345, which is 3 x 5 x 823. The smallest number with 12345 as a factor is 12345 itself. The second smallest number would be obtained by multiplying 12345 by the next smallest prime number after 3 and 5, which is 7. Therefore, the second smallest number with 12345 as factors is 12345 x 7 = 86415.
Oh, what a happy little question! The smallest number that is divisible by both 7 and 8 is called their least common multiple. To find it, we look for the smallest number that both 7 and 8 can divide into evenly. In this case, the smallest number that fits the bill is 56. Just like painting, math can be a beautiful masterpiece when we take our time to understand it.
To find a common factor, you need another number to have common (shared) factor with. However, with any set of numbers, the Least Common FACTOR (the smallest (positive) whole number which divides into each of the numbers without any remainder) will always be 1.
To find the smallest number divisible by both 12345678 and 9, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two numbers. The LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 12345678 and 9. To calculate the LCM, we first need to find the prime factors of each number. The prime factorization of 12345678 is 2 x 3 x 47 x 14593, and the prime factorization of 9 is 3^2. The LCM is then the product of the highest power of each prime factor, which is 2 x 3^2 x 47 x 14593 = 12345678. Therefore, the smallest number divisible by both 12345678 and 9 is 12345678.
