Let the number be y.
LCM of 12 and y: 36
HCF (highest common factor): 6
Ans: 18
LCM: 36 = 22 x 32
HCF: 6 = 2 x 3
12 = 22 x 3
y = 2 x 32
y = 18
There is no 'greatest common multiple' of any two numbers. You can keep multiplying towards infinity and you will never reach a maximum. You may either be thinking of... ...the least common multiple of 3 and 4, which is 12. ...the greatest common denominator of 3 and 4, which is 1.
The definition of the greatest common multiple of any two numbers is an infinite number.

The greatest common multiple of any two or more numbers cannot be determined because the common multiples of any two or more numbers are infinite.
No, there is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
Answer=18
The GCF of the numbers is the greatest common factor no matter what their relationship is. When one number is a multiple of another number, the GCF is the smaller number.
No, the lesser.
The answer is sometimes - when the multiple in question is 1.
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite. The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers will never be one.
The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.
Never. The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.
The greatest common multiple of any two numbers is infinite.

Yes! Another opinion: No, you could not, because there is no such thing. Whatever number you bring me, and tell me that it is the greatest common multiple of two numbers, then no matter how big your number is, all I have to do is multiply your number by the product of those two numbers, and I have a new, bigger, common multiple.
If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).If one number is divisible by another (in this case, 15 is divisible by 5), then the least common multiple is equal to the larger of the numbers (15), and the greatest common factor is equal to the smaller of the numbers (5).
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite.
