The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.The concept of a common factor is used only in the context of positive integers since other wise every non-zero number is a factor of every number. The only pair of positive integers whose product is 1 is {1, 1}.
The product of the GCF and LCM of two numbers will equal the product of the two numbers.
The product of the GCF and LCM is equal to the product of the original two numbers.
Yes.
Yes, if one of the numbers is a factor of the other.
No.
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).
If the two numbers have no common prime factors, the LCM will be the product of the numbers.
Well, not always. The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10. But apart from that special circumstance, the statement is true. 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 which means that the LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.
Because prime numbers don't have any common prime factors. Their GCF is 1. Since the product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers equals the product of the numbers, the LCM has to be equal to the product.
The product is 464. Some of the factor pairs are (232,2)(116,4)(58,8)(29,16)
