30 is divisible by, and is the least common multiple of, 2, 3, and 5.
we factorise a number by finding the common factor. example: 2x+6 = 2 is the common factor the 2 is then put outside the bracket 2x+6 = 2(x+3)
Write down the factors of each number. Hence 3 = 1,3 4 = 1,2,2,4 5 = 1, 5, 6 = 1,2,3,6 7 = 1, 7 Hence 1, is common to all number. 2, is common to two numbers 3, is common to two numbers 5 is common to one number 7 is common to one number. Hence 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210 the LCM.
The common factor of 2 and 3 is: 1 The common factor of 3 and 4 is: 1 The common factors of 2 and 4 are: 1 and 2 The common factor or 2, 3 and 4 is: 1
The only common factors of 24 and 39 are 1 and 3.
The LCM is 6.
The greatest common factor for 12, 20 and 24 is 4. Individually factorize each number wiht prime numbers (numbers which do not have any factors except for 1 and the number itself) such as 2,3,5,7,11, etc. Then out of all the 3 factorizations, take the common number that appears in all the 3 factors and multiply them. 12 = 2*2*3 20 = 2*2*5 24 = 2*2*2*3 So the common factors in all the 3 numbers is 2*2 = 4. This is the GCF (greatest common factor)
A single number cannot have a common factor. The word "common" implies that the factor is common to two or more numbers. A systematic way of finding a common factor of two or more numbers is first to find the prime factorisation of each of the numbers. The common factors are any primes that appear in each and every on of these factorisations, as well as their products. For example, suppose you want common factors of 24, 36 and 60 12 = 2*2*2*3 18 = 2*2*3*3 30 = 2*2*3*5 The factors common to all three are 2, another 2 and 3. So the common factors are 1, 2, 3, 2*2 = 4, 2*3 = 6 and 2*2*3 = 12.
The least common multiple of 2, 3 and 4 is 12.
1, 2, 3, 6
1, 2, 3 and 6
1, 2, 3 and 6
The greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers is the greatest factor which is common to each number in the set. The GCF of a single number, such as 967260, is the number itself.
To find the least common multiple of 2, 3, and 4, factor them: 2 = 2 x 1 3 = 3 x 1 4 = 2 x 2 (Since one 2 has already been used to factor the number 2, only one 2 counts in the factors for the number 4.) The least common multiple of 2, 3, and 4 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 2 = 12.
To get the greatest (not greater) common factor GCF, factor each number into primes: 60 = 2*2*3*5 72 = 2*2*2*3*3 Which prime factors are common to both numbers? Two 2's and one 3. GCF = 2*2*3 = 12
The factors of 2 are 1 and 2. The factors of 3 are 1 and 3. The only common factor is 1.
As factors, 1, 2, 3 and 6.
