There is really so 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.
Furthermore, the the word COMMON is an indication that the multiple is common to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
The greatest common multiple of any set of multiples is infinite.
3 and 360
3 and 360 have an LCM of 360 and a GCF of 3
360 - 18 = 342
-- The difference is that the 'GCF' is a well respected and very useful conceptin arithmetic, whereas there is no such thing as the 'GCM'.-- The Greatest Common Factor of 18 and 360 is 18 .-- There is no Greatest Common Multiple. If someone walks in with number thathe claims is the Greatest Common Multiple of 18 and 360, simply add 360 to itand you'll have a new common multiple that's greater than his number.-- The Least Common Multiple of 18 and 360 is 360 .-- The difference between the GCF and the LCM of 18 and 360 is 342 .
The GCF of 18 and 360 is 18 because it is a factor of 360. The LCM of 18 and 360 is 360 because it is a multiple of 18.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 18 and 360 is 18. The least common multiple of the numbers 18 and 360 is 360.
No. Nobody can. There's no such thing as the 'greatest common multiple'. If somebody brings you a number and tells you that it's the greatest common multiple of 72 and 120, just bring it to me. I'll add 360 to it and get a common multiple that's even greater.
HCF is 12 and LCM is 360
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
There is no greatest common multiple of two (or more) numbers: whatever number you come up with as the greatest common multiple I can always add their lowest common multiple to get an even higher common multiple. If you meant the LOWEST common multiple (the least number that both divide into with a remainder) then lcm(72, 180) = 360. If you meant the greatest common FACTOR (the greatest number that divides into both), then gcf(72, 180) = 36.
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
