False. 72 is a multiple of 6.
Because 6 is a factor of 72 and also because 72 is a multiple of 6.
6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
No. 9 is a factor of 72.
No, 6 is a factor of 72.
No. It can be neither. HCF is Highest Common Factor; a factor of a number is a number which divides into it with no remainder. Thus all factors are less than or equal to the number. 72 is greater than 6, therefore it cannot be a factor of 6, nor the Highest Common Factor of 6 and another number. LCM is Lowest Common Multiple; a multiple of a number is that number times some other number. Thus all multiples are greater than or equal to the number. 72 is less than 252, therefore it cannot be a multiple of 252, nor can it be the Lowest Common Multiple of 252 and another number. However, 6 is a factor of 72, thus 6 could be the HCF of 72 and another number, eg hcf(30, 72) = 6. But 252 is not a multiple of 72, so 252 could not be a LCM of 72 and some other number.
The Least Common Multiple of two numbers is equal to their product divided by their greatest common factor.The greatest common factor of 72 and 42 is 6, so their Least Common Multiple is 72 * 42 / 6 = 504.
6 and 72, respectively.
The least common multiple of 36 and 72 is 72. Since 72 is a multiple of 36, it is automatically the LCM.
It can be both.
the highest common multiple is infinity the highest common factor is 6
