This is confusingly written. I think that someone wants you to learn the fact that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their LCM and GCF.

Example: 6 and 8

GCF = 2

LCM = 24

6 x 8 = 48

2 x 24 = 48

So 22 x 23 = 506

If the GCF is 2, then the LCM is 253. But the GCF of 22 and 23 isn't 2. And 253 isn't a multiple of 22 or 23. And 22 and 23 wouldn't be the factors of two numbers. This may not have been copied correctly.

When do you use GCF and LCM?

Gcf you use when you are finding the greatest factor for the numbers. Lcm you use when you are finding the smallest multiple in the numbers factors


How can you determine if the least common multiple of 2 numbers is the product of the 2 numbers or less than the product of the 2 numbers?

If the GCF of a given pair of numbers is 1, the LCM will be equal to their product. If the GCF is greater than 1, the LCM will be less than their product. Or, stated another way, if the two numbers have no common prime factors, their LCM will be their product.


Why is the LCM of 2 numbers bigger than the GCF of those numbers?

Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples. Multiples are bigger than factors.


Which is greater gcf or LCM?

The LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF.


Is greater the LCM of the numbers or the numbers or the GCF of the numbers?

The LCM will never be less than the GCF of a set of numbers.


How do you find the LCM using GCF?

The GCF of two numbers multiplied by their LCM will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the GCF, divide it into the product of the two. The result will be the LCM. If the GCF of two numbers is 1, the LCM is their product.


How do you change GCF into a LCM with 3 numbers?

The product of the GCF and the LCM is the same as the product of the original two numbers. Divide the product of the original numbers by the GCF. The result will be the LCM.


What is the product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers?

The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.


Can the GCF of two different numbers is the LCM of the numbers?

No, the only way the GCF and LCM of two numbers can be the same is if the numbers are the same.


Can the GCF of 2 different numbers is the LCM of the numbers?

No, the only way the GCF and LCM of two numbers can be the same is if the numbers are the same.


What is the LCM and GCF of 486472?

To find the LCM and GCF of numbers at least two or more numbers are neeeded.


What is the greatest common factor when LCM of two numbers is the product of two numbers?

The LCM is the product of the two numbers if and only if the two numbers are co-prime. That they are co-prime means they have no factors in common so that their GCF is 1.
