Let the two numbers by A and B with A>B

Both numbers have 3 as a factor therefore write A = 3a, B = 3b = 9

As the LCM is 72 then AB = 72n as the product of the numbers is a multiple of the LCM.

Then 72n = 3a x 9 = 27a : a/n = 72/27 = 8/3.

This equation holds true when a = 8 and n = 3 (or multiples of these two numbers)

When a = 8, A = 3x8 = 24, A + B = 24 + 9 = 33 which is a number between 30 and 40.

The larger number is 24.

How do you figure out the difference between 2 numbers?

subtract the smaller number from the larger number.


The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40?

The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.

Why can you subtract a larger number from a smaller number?

Numbers don't stop in either direction. If you subtract a larger number from a smaller one, the answer will be negative.


The difference between two numbers is 12 the smaller number is 17 what is the larger number?

To find the larger number, we can add the difference of 12 to the smaller number of 17. This gives us 17 + 12 = 29. Therefore, the larger number is 29.

Hmmm. Let me see now ... "The smaller number is less than the larger number", eh ? I'm going to have to think that over carefully.


How do you add two numbers with opposite signs?

Subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number. The answer will have the sign of the larger numbers.


When is the GCF of two numbers one of the two numbers?

When the smaller one is a factor of the larger one. (That also means the larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.) The smaller number is the GCF of both.
