What is the difference between the GCF and the LCM of 42 and 84?
Whenever one number is a multiple of the other, the LCM is the larger number and the GCF is the smaller number. The difference is 42.
Why is it that the LCM and the GFC seem to be opposites of the same thing?
Very astute. The LCM and the GCF have an inverse relationship. Since their product equals the product of the original two numbers, the larger the GCF gets, the smaller the LCM is and vice versa.
What is the LCM and GCF of 24 and 30?
Lcm = 120 gcf = 6
What is the gcf and LCM of 8 and 36?
The GCF is 4. The LCM is 72.
What is the GCF and LCM of 13 and 79?
The LCM is their product. The GCF is 1.
What is the difference between the GCF and the LCM of 42 and 84?
Whenever one number is a multiple of the other, the LCM is the larger number and the GCF is the smaller number. The difference is 42.
Explain Why the LCM is at least as large as the GCF.?
No number can have a multiple smaller than itself. No number can have a factor larger than itself. In a set of two numbers, the LCM can't be smaller than the larger number and the GCF can't be larger than the smaller number. In rare cases, the LCM can equal the GCF, but it can never be smaller.
What LCM could go into 830 and 45?
The LCM will be larger than those numbers, i.e. 4740. The HCF (GCF) is 5
Which is greater LCM or GCF. Why?
The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10. But apart from that special circumstance, the LCM will never be less than the GCF. Apart from a number itself, all of its factors are smaller than it. Apart from a number itself, all of its multiples are larger than it. You can't have a GCF that is greater than the smaller number, and you can't have an LCM that is less than the larger one. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
What is the LCM and GCF of 60 and 72?
The GCF is 12. The LCM is 360.
Why is it that the LCM and the GFC seem to be opposites of the same thing?
Very astute. The LCM and the GCF have an inverse relationship. Since their product equals the product of the original two numbers, the larger the GCF gets, the smaller the LCM is and vice versa.
