Common means similar/alike in this case. to have the highest common factor, you need it to be common with the two numbers. both numbers are negative, so the highest common factor is also negative.

remember, you aren't multiplying/dividing to get a product or quotient; you'r simply looking for a number.

i hope my explanation helped! x

The ratio of women to men working for a company is 5 to 7. If there are 140 men working for the company, what is the total numbe
Thepotemich [5.8K]
So women:men=5:7
for every 5 units of women, there are 7 units of men so
there are 140 men and that equals 7 units so
140=7 units
solve for 1 unit
140/7=20
1 unit=20
women=5 units
5 times 20=100
women=100
total=women+men=100+140=240
another way would be to add up the units (5+7=12) and multiply by the amount per 1 unit
