What is a number that has 360 as a GCF and 12 as a LCM?
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF or an LCM and the LCM of those numbers can never be less than the GCF. 12 and 360 have a GCF of 12 and an LCM of 360. So do 60 and 72.
Which of these numbers doesn't have the same gcf 16 8 24 20?
The GCF of those numbers is 4. If 20 disappeared, the GCF of the remaining numbers would be 8.
What is the GCF of 4 6 and 9?
The GCF for those three numbers is.... 1 !
What is the GCF of 83 and 99?
There is no GCF for those two numbers. It is already simplified. * * * * * GCF(83, 99) = 1
What is the GCF of 7 9 11?
' 1 ' is the only common factor of those numbers.
What is the GCF of 35 and 8?
The GCF is 1.
Which is greater gcf or LCM?
The LCM of two numbers will never be less than the GCF.
How is 30 the GCF of 4and5and6?
It's not. The GCF of those numbers is 1.

How do you get 78 GCF of 1 2 3 6 13?
It's not. 78 is the LCM of those numbers. The GCF of those numbers is 1.
Is greater the LCM of the numbers or the numbers or the GCF of the numbers?
The LCM will never be less than the GCF of a set of numbers.
Which of these numbers doesn't have the same gcf 16 8 24 20?
The GCF of those numbers is 4. If 20 disappeared, the GCF of the remaining numbers would be 8.
What is the GCF of 4 6 and 9?
The GCF for those three numbers is.... 1 !
Is the GCF of 2 different numbers greater than the LCM of the numbers?
No.The gcf of two numbers is LESS THAN OR EQUAL than their lcm.The gcf of two DIFFERENT numbes is LESS THAN their lcm.
What is the GCF of 16 20 and 32?
4 would be the GCF of those three numbers.
Can two numbers have more than one GCF?
No; two numbers can have only 1 GCF.
What is the GCF of 83 and 99?
There is no GCF for those two numbers. It is already simplified. * * * * * GCF(83, 99) = 1
