Can two numbers have a GCF that is bigger than their LCM? Explain how you know?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer to this question would be: No, they can't

Greatest common factor biggest possible value is the number value itself. There is no factor that bigger than the number.

But the least common multiple smallest possible value is the number. There is no multiple that smaller than the number.

So it is not possible to have GCF bigger than LCM.

A cylinder has a radius of 5 and height of 3. what is the volume

Ratling [72]

Answer: Volume of the cylinder is 75π or 235.62 cm³

Volume of cylinder =πr²h

where r is radius and h is height.

Here given radius = 5 and height = 3

Using the formula: πr²h

: π * 5² * 3

: π * 5 * 5 * 3

: 75π or 235.62 cm³
