We can multiply 16 by 3 (the only prime factor of 24 not shared by 16), to find theLCM: 3 * 16 = 48. The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that is common to two or more numbers.

The gcf is the greatest common factor. The smallest number that can be divided by both 40 and 48.

arrange the expressions in the correct sequence to rationalize the denominator of the expression -(2)/(\sqrt(x+y-2)-\sqrt(x+y+2)

We have to rationalize the denominator:
$\frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} } = \\ \frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} }* \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-(x+y+2)}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-x-y-2}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{-4}= \\ \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{2}$
