Since prime numbers only have two factors (itself and 1) then it would have to be the same number. So it would be the number besides one. Ex. Prime number: 7, the GCF would be 7 if it was compared with itself.
LCM=product of highest occurring primes in the numbers prime factorization.
GCF=product of shared primes in the numbers prime factorization.
16=2*2*2*2
Since the GCF is 8 N and 16 share only 2*2*2
Since the LCM is 48 and 16 has 2*2*2*2 the other number has a factor of 3
So the other number is 2*2*2*3=24
N=24
The second choice i believe
48 cups because there are 8 cups in a bottle and 8 times 6 is 48
