What is the greatest common multiple of 32and 55?
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.
What is the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 32 and 49?
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of (32,49) is 1The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of (32,49) is 1568
How do you factor the greatest common multiple from a polynomial?
The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and not very practical for problem solving.
What is the gcm of 64 and 52?
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is: 9 .The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
What are the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 3 and 5?
The LCM or least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.The GCF or greatest common factor of 3 and 5 is 1.
What is the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of 18 and 20?
The greatest common factor is 2 and the least common multiple is also 2.
What is the greatest common multiple of 39 and 35?

Does the greatest common multiple mean the same as greatest common factor?
no
What is the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 63 and 77?
Greatest common factor (GCF) =7 Least common multiple (LCM) =693
What is the GCM of 12 and 15?
There is no such thing as a Greatest Common Multiple - there are such terms as Lowest Common Multiple, and Greatest Common Factor.
What is the greatest common multiple of 32and 55?
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.
What are the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 20 and 120?
The greatest common factor of 20 and 120 is 20, and the least common multiple of 20 and 120 is 120
What is the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 32 and 49?

What is the greatest common multiple of 90 and 108?
The greatest common FACTOR of 90 and 108 is 18. The LEAST common multiple is 540. There can be no greatest common multiple since double that number will be a greater common multiple.
What is the greatest common multiple between 12 and 15?
There is no "greatest common multiple" for any pair of numbers. If you meant greatest common factor, the answer is 3.
What is the greatest common multiple of 3474and 26?
There is no greatest common multiple - whatever common multiple you come up with as the greatest one I can add their lowest common multiple (45162) and get an even higher multiple. There is a greatest common factor, which for 3474 and 26 is 2.
What is the greatest common multiple for 36 and 64?
There is no such thing as a "greatest common multiple" of a set of numbers. Once you find ANY common multiple (for example, by multiplying the two numbers), that common multiple times 2, or times 3, etc. will also be a common multiple.For many practical problems, you are usually required to find either:The least common multiple, or The greatest common factor.
