Example: 30 and 42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Select the highest amount of each factor.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM
Check it.
30 x 42 = 1260
6 x 210 = 1260
It checks.
The GREATEST common multiple is a number approaching infinity. The LEAST common multiple is 540.
There is no greatest common multiples for whatever common multiple is claimed to be the greatest the lowest common multiple of the numbers (in this case 15) can be added to get an even greater common multiple.
There is no such thing as the Greatest Common Multiple. For any multiple calculated, you could add the LCM to get a higher number; essentially, the greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite. The least common multiple of 12 and 18 is 36, The greatest comon factor of 12 and 18 is 6.
There is no such thing as a greatest common multiple for any numbers. There is a greatest common divisor and that is 2.
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.
The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and cannot be factored.
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite. The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers will never be one.
The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.
Never. The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.
Prime factorization tells you what prime numbers multiply to get the number. You can see which numbers that number is divisible by to get the multiples and factors.
The GREATEST common multiple is a number approaching infinity. The LEAST common multiple is 540.
There is no greatest common multiple of these numbers... or indeed of any pair of numbers. Once you get a common multiple, you can multiply that by any integer, as large as you want, to get a larger common multiple.
The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.
The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and not very practical for problem solving.
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite.
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite.
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
