What is the least common multiple of the first 4 positive integers

Monica [59]2 years ago

Answer:

The least common multiple of the 1st 4 positive integers is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

- Lets explain the meaning of the least common multiple

* The multiples of a number are the numbers formed by multiplying the

  number by another integers

- Ex: 2 , 4 , 6  are multiples of 2 because 2×1 = 2 , 2×2=4 ,

  2×3 = 6

* Least common multiple (L.C.M) of a set of numbers is the

  smallest number divisible by all of the numbers in the set

* To find the L.C.M of a set of numbers we look for the multiples of the

   greatest number and check them with the other numbers if they are

   divisible by the other numbers in the set, and choose the 1st one that

   divisible by all the numbers in the set

- Ex: 24 is the L.C.M of 6 , 8 , 12  because

→ The multiples of 12 are 12 , 24 , 36 , ........ and 12 is the 1st number

   divisible by the 3 numbers

- Lets solve the problem

* The first four positive integers are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4

→ The greatest one is 4

→ The multiples of 4 are ⇒ 4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , ........

→ 4 not divisible by 3 then it is not a common multiple of them

→ 8 not divisible by 3 hen it is not a common multiple of them

→ 12 is a common multiple of 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 because it is divisible by all of

   them

<em>The least common multiple of the 1st 4 positive integers is 12</em>

Sam has bought a camera for $200 when it was on 20% off sale. What was the original price of the camera
Olenka [21]
Original price = x
x - .2x = 200  ← original price - discount amount = sale price
.8x = 200     ← 1x - 0.2x = .8x
x = 250      ← divided both sides by .8

The original price was $250

I need help with making predictions with probability please help me correctly answer these questions.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

1. So the porpotion should be 25/100 = x/120

You have this because you know that 25% of the dogs who go to ABC veterinarian need a rabies booster. So 100% of the dog should be 120 dogs, and now our job is to find how many dogs make up 25% percent of the total number.

According to our porpotion, we have:

(120 . 25)/100 = 30 (dogs)

Another way of understanding this is that you have to find 25% of the total amount, so just take that total number and multiply it with 25% or 25/100 which is 0.25 as well, that's why we multiply it with 25 first and then divide it to 100 later.

2.

*I guess there is no need of explaining it

0.9 × 550 = 495
