What is the lowest common factor of 3 4 and 16?
The lowest common factor (the smallest positive whole number which divides into all the numbers without any remainder) of 3, 4, 16 is 1, as it is for any set of numbers. The highest common factor (the largest positive whole number which divides into all the numbers without any remainder) is also 1. The lowest common multiple ((the smallest positive whole number into which divide all the numbers without any remainder, ie the smallest positive whole number which is a multiple of all the numbers) is 48.
What is the product of the first three whole numbers?
If zero is counted as a whole number, then the first three whole numbers are zero, one and two and the product of ANY series containing zero is ZERO. If, on the other hand, only non-zero numbers are considered, then the series is one, two and three and the product is six.
Find two pairs of numbers whose least common multiple is less than the product of the numbers?
4 and 6 6 and 8 Any time the two numbers have a common factor, their LCM will be less than the product because the common factor contributes to the LCM fewer times than it contributes to the product.
Why is the product of two even numbers even?
An even number is any number that has '2' as a factor.When you multiply two numbers, you multiply all the factors of both of them.If '2' was a factor of either number, or of both, then it's a factor of their product,and the product must therefore be an even number.
What is the greatest whole number that MUST be a factor of the sum of any four consecutive positive odd numbers?
8
