Is the greatest common factor of two numbers equal to the lesser of the numbers?
Only if that number is a factor of the other.
When a number is a multiple of another the greatest common factor of the numbers is the greater of the numbers?
No, the GCF is the lesser of the numbers.
Is the greatest common factor of a pair of numbers is always equal or less than the lesser of the two numbers?
Yes.
What is the least common multiple of two numbers if the lesser number is a factor of the greater number?
The greater number becomes the least common multiple of the 2 numbers. Ex: 2 and 10. 2 is a factor of 10 and hence 10 is the LCM of 2 and 10
The gcf if a pair of numbers is always equal to or less than the lesser of the two numbers true or false?
False
Is the greatest common factor of two numbers equal to the lesser of the numbers?
Only if that number is a factor of the other.
When a number is a multiple of another the greatest common factor of the numbers is the greater of the numbers?
No, the GCF is the lesser of the numbers.
Is it true that when one number is multiple of another the greatest common factor of the numbers is greater of the numbers?
No, the lesser.
Is the greatest common factor of a pair of numbers is always equal or less than the lesser of the two numbers?
Yes.
The greatest common factor of two numbers is 15 The greater number is 75 What are the possible values of the lesser number?
7
What conjecture must be true about the least common multiple of any number pairs in which one number is the greatest common factor of the other number?
Given a pair of numbers, if the lesser of the two is the GCF, the greater of the two is the LCM. This happens when one of the numbers is a factor of the other.
If one number is a factor of another number will the greatest common factor will be the lesser number. explain?
If one number is a factor of another number, the greatest common factor will be the lesser number. Example: 3 and 9 3 is a factor of 9 3 is a factor of 3 There can be no higher factor of a number than the number itself. Therefore, the GCF of 3 and 9 is 3.
When is the GCF of two numbers the same as the lesser of the two numbers?
When that number is a factor of the greater one.
What is the least common multiple of two numbers if the lesser number is a factor of the greater number?
The greater number becomes the least common multiple of the 2 numbers. Ex: 2 and 10. 2 is a factor of 10 and hence 10 is the LCM of 2 and 10
Is the GCF of two numbers equal to the lesser of the numbers?
Only if that number is a factor of the other one.
If one number is a factor of another number will the GCF always be the lesser number?
Consider this:If A can be split into AB, where B is the lesser number (factor), then it can divide in. Thus, the GCF of the 2 numbers must be the lesser number, so that is true.
Can the Greatest common factor of 18 and 36 be less than 18?
If it isn't, then it can't be. The GCF of any two positive integers can never be greater than the lesser number.
