What's the difference between a greatest common factor and a least common multiple?
Difference Between GCF and LCM. The Greatest Common Factor (or the GCF) is the greatest real number shared between two integers. ... On the other hand, the Lowest Common Multiple (or LCM) is the integer shared by two numbers that can be divided by both numbers
What is difference between multiple and factor?
A multiple is found by multiplying the number. Whereas a factor is what the number can be divided by. For example - multiples of 10 are; 10, 20, 30, 40, ... Factors of 10 are; 1, 2, 5, 10
What is the relationship between a factor and a multiple?
A factor of any number is a multiple of that number as for example 3 is a factor of 24 and it is also a multiple of 3 because 3*8 = 24
Explain the difference between a factor and a multiple?
A factor is something that divides a number evenly Example: The factors of 12 are 1,2,3,4,6 & 12 A multiple are the numbers that 12 divides evenly or the numbers in the 12x table Example: Some multiples of 12 are 12,24,36,48,60 and so on.
What is the difference between finding the least common multiple and finding the greatest common factor of two numbers?
The GCF is what goes into the numbers, the LCM is what the numbers go into. Example: 30 and 42 Factor them. 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Select the common factors. 2 x 3 = 6, the GCF Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM.
