The gcf of numbers can never be greater than both numbers, because in order to be a gcf, it must be a factor that both numbers have, so if one number does not have that then it is not a gcf.

Answer:

No, G.C.F. of pair of numbers can never be greater than both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

G.C.F. (Greatest Common Factor) of pair of numbers is defined as the greatest factor of both the number that exactly divides both numbers.

For Example: G.C.F. of 14 and 21 =

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common Factors of 36 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

∴ G.C.F. = 12

As, we see that G.C.F. is factor of given number. So, it can never be greater than given numbers.

Judy is pulling on a trunk with a 12-N force. Ike pulls at right angles to Judy. With how much force must Ike pull to make the r

Ratling [72]

To understand the problem, let's first draw a free body diagram of the forces exerted by Judy and Ike on the truck. (Refer to the left side of the attachment).

To solve for the resultant, we just use the tip-to-tail method. This is illustrated on the right side of the attachment.

We can see that the tip-to-tail method forms a right triangle thus we can just apply the Pythagorean theorem in solving for Ike's force.

$20^{2} = 12^{2} + F^{2}$
$400 = 144 + F^{2}$
$256 = F^{2}$
$F = 16.0$

ANSWER: Ike must pull the truck with a force of 16.0 N.

6m+7n+5m−3n simpified

diamong [38]

Answer:

11m + 4n

Step-by-step explanation:

when two numbers with the same variable are added together or subtracted the result is just the numbers added or subtracted. So you can add 6m and 5m to get 11m. and you can subtract 3n from 7n to get 4n

11m + 4n

Between which pair of numbers is the exact product of 379 and 8?

AnnZ [28]

The product of 379 and 8 is 3,032.

It's between (any number less than 3,032) and (any number greater than 3,032).

I guess if this is an <em>estimation </em>exercise, you could say that it's between
(8 x 300) and (8 x 400), or 2,400 and 3,200.
