How can you use number patterns to find the least common factor

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: 360.

Explanation:

First we can express 120 as follows:

2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120

You can get the above multiples as follows:

120/2 = 60

60/2 =30

30/2 = 15

15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)

Second we can express 360 as follows:

360/2 = 180

180/2 = 90

90/2 =45

45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

15/3 = 5

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)

Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:

2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two

3 = Remaining

Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)

Find two numbers between 3.456 and 3.457
kow [346]

Answer:

3.4567

3.4568

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a number between 3.456 and 3.457. In order to do so, we need to dive deeper into the decimal to get numbers in-between.

We need to dive to the ten-thousandths place to get numbers between the two.

Find the perimiter now

that is right triangle so
when hpotonouse is c and hthe lgs are a and b
a²+b²=c²

given
leg is 8
hypotonuse is 13

8²+b²=13²
64+b²=169
minus 64 from both sides
b²=105
sqrt both sides
b=√105

find total perimiter
8+13+√105=21+√105

times 1/32 for scale
0.65625+0.32021721143623744947565745876628=

If an open box has a square base and a volume of 115 in.3 and is constructed from a tin sheet, find the dimensions of the box, a
Karolina [17]
Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is  V=x^{2} h = 115. 
So h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
S = 2( x^{2}  + hx + hx)  \\ = 2 x^{2}  + 4hx  \\  = 2 x^{2}  + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x
= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  = 0
4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  \\  4x^{3} = 460  \\ x^{3} = 115  \\ x =  \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86
Then h=  \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.
