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.

Hannah scored a total of 170 points on two math tests. The score of the first test was 6 points lower than the second test. How

tester [92]

Ok so in order to do this, you have to set up an equation. Let's make a=the score of the first test and b=the score of the second test. (You can choose different variables, it doesn't matter.) It says the sum of the two equals 170. So, a+b=170. It also says that the score of the first was 6 less than the second. This can be shown as a=b-6. Now you can plug this in for a in your original equation. It will look like:

(b-6)+b=170

You can solve for b.

2b-6=170
2b=176
b=88

Since you want a, plug into either equation for b. I'll use the second one.

a=88-6

So, a=82
