The highest common multiple??? That would be infinity...

Highest common factor? That would be the product of shared primes of the numbers prime factorization...

16=2*2*2*2, 24=2*2*2*3 so the product of shared primes is 2^3=8

So 8 would be the greatest common factor

Least common multiple?

That would be the product of the highest occurring primes in their prime factorization...

16=2*2*2*2, 24=2*2*2*3 so the product of highest occurring primes is:

2*2*2*2*3=48

So 48 would be the least common multiple....

The "highest common multiple" would be 48n where n would approach infinity so it would be +oo

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 7x−3y=10?

Sonja [21]

Since this equation is already in standard form, there is no need to convert it. Standard form is Ax + By = C. In this equation, 7 = A, 3 = B, and 10 = C. From standard form, Ax + By = C equals negative A over B.

7x + 3y = 10
