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 relationship does the greatest common factor and the LCM have?
The product of the GCF and LCM is equal to the product of the original two numbers.
If the GCF of two numbers is 15 and their product is 300 what is their LCM?
The general rule is that the product of the LCM and the GCF is equal to the product of the original two numbers. That would make the answer 20. Lets overlook the fact that two numbers with a GCF of 15 and an LCM of 20 don't exist.
Why does dividing the product by the GCF always give you the LCM?
In number theory, the product of two positive integers will equal the product of their GCF and LCM. Dividing that product by one of them will give you the other.
What is the LCM of two numbers if their GCF is 5 and their product is 1296?
As a general principle, you can find the LCM of two numbers by dividing their product by their GCF. This one won't work. The product of any two numbers with 5 as a common factor would have to end in 5 or 0.
