Question

What is the ratio between the LCM of 180 and 594 and the GCF of 180 and 594

Answer 1

$180:2=90\\90:2=45\\45:3=15\\15:3=5\\5:5=1\\\\180=\boxed{2}\cdot2\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot5\\\\594:2=297\\297:3=99\\99:3=3\\33:3=11\\11:11=1\\\\594=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot3\cdot11$

$LCM(180,\ 594)=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot2\cdot3\cdot5\cdot11=5940\\\\GCF(180,\ 594)=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}=18$
