The greatest common factor of two numbers is 5 the least common multiple is 450 the numbers add up to 55 what are the two numbers?
Product = LCM x HCF = 2250. Factors of 2250 which total 55?
A = 55 - B, AB = 2250 ie B(55 - B) = 2250 ie 55B - B2 = 2250 or B2 - 55B + 2250 = 0;
This seems to involve imaginary numbers, has there been a typo?
If the total were 95, the numbers would be 45 & 50...

What is the greatest common multiple between 12 and 15?
There is no "greatest common multiple" for any pair of numbers. If you meant greatest common factor, the answer is 3.
What is the GCM of 21 and 49?
There is no greatest common multiple since numbers keep going on forever. The greatest common factor is 7. The least common multiple is 147
When the greatest common factor is 1 is the least common multiple of these numbers always the product of the numbers?
Yes - if two numbers share no common factors (besides 1) the least common multiple will be the product of the numbers.
The least common multiple of two numbers is 120 the greatest common factor is 4 the sum of the numbers is 44 what are the numbers?
20 and 24
What pair of numbers has a least common multiple of 35 and a greatest common factor of 7?
7 and 35
Is the least common multiple of two numbers always divisible by the greatest common factor of the two numbers?
Yes, the least common multiple of two numbers is always divisible by those numbers' greatest common factor.
How do you know whether to use the greatest common factor or the least common multiple to solve a problem?
the least common multiple is what the numbers you are using divide into. e.g. 3 and 6 have 12 as the common factor. the greatest common factor is what divides into your numbers. 6 and 9 have 3 as the greatest common factor
What is the greatest common multiple between 12 and 15?
There is no "greatest common multiple" for any pair of numbers. If you meant greatest common factor, the answer is 3.
What is the greatest common multiple of 32and 55?
The greatest common multiple of any set of positive numbers is infinity.I suspect you actually want to know the greatest common factor and not multiple.The greatest common factor is 1.
What is the greatest of the common factors of two or more numbers called?
The greatest common factor between two numbers. There is no term.
When a number is a multiple of another the GCF of the numbers is the greatest common factor?
The GCF of the numbers is the greatest common factor no matter what their relationship is. When one number is a multiple of another number, the GCF is the smaller number.
What is the least common multiple of 5 and 23?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 5 and 23 is 1. (See related question "What is the greatest common factor of 5 and 23?" for this calculation.) So, the least common multiple is 5 x 23 ÷ 1 = 115.
What are the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 3 and 5?
The LCM or least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.The GCF or greatest common factor of 3 and 5 is 1.
What is the greatest common multiple of 36 and 54?
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
What is the least common multiple of 28 and 48?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 28 and 48 is 4. Therefore, the least common multiple is 28 x 48 ÷ 4 = 336.
What is the least common multiple of 7 and 159?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 7 and 159 is 1, so the least common multiple is 7 x 159 ÷ 1 = 1113.
What is the least common multiple of 32 and 15?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 15 and 32 is 1, so the least common multiple is 15 x 32 ÷ 1 = 480.
