How can you tell when the LCM of two numbers will equal one of the numbers or equal the product of the numbers

1 answer:

7 0

When one number will divide exactly into the other one then the other one will be the LCM. For example the LCM of 4 and 8 = 8 .

When they do not divide as above then the product of the numbers may be the LCM. For example the LCM of 3 and 4 = 3*4 = 12.

The product is not always the LCM. It might be a lower number . For example the LCM of 4 and 6 is not 24 but 12. ( 24 / 2).

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

rate of change = -0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change = slope,m

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ m = \frac{3.6 - 2}{ - 3 - 2} \\ m = \frac{1.6}{ - 5} \\ m = \frac{ - 0.32}{1}$
