This is math not history.

A least common multiple (A.K.A LCM) is the smallest multiple that's divisible between two (or more)numbers.

So let's take 2 and 3 for an example. The smallest multiple that's divisible between 2 and 3 is 6.

Let's take 4 and 2 as an example. The smallest multiple that's divisible by 4 and 2, is 4.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The greatest common factor (A.K.A GCF) is the biggest factor between 2 (or more) numbers.

Let's take 6 and 3 as an example.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6.

Factors of 3: 1, 3.

So the GCF is 3.

Let's take 8 and 20

20's factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

8's factors: 1, 2, 4, 8.

Therefore, the GCF is 4.

How are isolationism and nativism related in the 1920s what actions did americans take that revealed their distrust of others?
Scilla [17]

Isolationists were people who pulled away from involvement in foreign affairs. This mainly happened after WWI. U.S.A did not want to become involved with the League of Nations.The League of Nations was a group of countries that tried to create world peace. The Americans did not want to be entangled into another war with the Germans. 
 ativism is a term that is used to mean the opposition of immigration. Nativism favored the primary race of the country (White). This was a post WWI trend. Millions of Europeans were seeking to immigrate in other parts of the world and many of them tried to come to the United States. Many Americans mainly did not like the Germans because they started the war. Many Americans were nativists and had prejudices 
 Against the German people.   
The Emergency Quota Act was a movement that limited the number of immigrants each year that emigrated to the U.S. All of these topics affected politics in the 1920’s, especially the Quota System. This favored all western Europeans and created a drop in immigrations for the U.S. The Americans did not play any German music. Also, they wouldn’t allow the Americans to speak German.

Since I am doing this for school, and can't find the answer to "The Common Good" And I really need the answer.
yan [13]

Well there are two ways of really explaining this, but "The Common Good" by definition is something that benefits or interests of everyone.

The political term, is literally the same thing; "What is shared and beneficial for most members of a given community"

Hope this is the answer you are searching for.

5. What lands did Spain lay claim to and how did Portugal react?
mote1985 [20]
As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.
