What is the greatest common multiple of 5 and 6?
There is no greatest common multiple: for whatever value you say is the greatest I can always add their lowest common multiple and get an even greater common multiple.There is a greatest common FACTOR and a LOWEST common multiple:gcf(5, 6) = 1lcm(5, 6) = 30
What is the greatest common multiple of 16 and 24?
There is no greatest common multiple. Ever! If x were the greatest common multiple, then what about 2x? Since x is a multiple of 16 and 24 then so also is 2x, so that 2x is a COMMON multiple. And it would certainly be greater that x. So 2x is a common multiple that is greater than the greatest common multiple. What?!
What is the greatest common multiple of 18 and 42?
6
What is the greatest common multiples for 6 and 15?
The least common multiple is 30. The greatest common factor is 3.
The greatest common multiple of 27 and 6 are?
There is no greatest common multiple: for whatever value you say is the greatest I can always add their lowest common multiple and get an even greater common multiple.There is a greatest common FACTOR or a LOWEST common multiple:gcf(27, 6) = 3lcm(27, 6) = 54Using the factorisation method:27 = 3³6 = 2 x 3hcf = 3lcm = 2 x 3³ = 54
