How do you find out GCF (Greatest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple)?

Mathematics

Mamont248 [21]3 years ago

To find the GCF, first you must factor the 2 or more numbers. The GCF is the highest factor the numbers have in common. for example: you have 12 and 8. If you factor out the numbers for 12, you get
1,2,3,4,6,12
For 8, you get:
1,2,4,8
the GCF of this pair is 4 because it is the highest number that goes into both 8 and 12.
To find the LCM, you must find the first number that was multiplied and it must be the same. lets take 3 and 5. Multiply 3 by as many numbers you can think of. For now, lets just go up to 10.
3, 6, 9, 12 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
now to the same for 5:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
in both 3 and 5, the first set of numbers that match in 30- therefore the LCM of 3 and 5 in 30. I hope this helps!

What is the blood type of the unknown parent?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

IBi0

Step-by-step explanation:

We look at the child's genotype (lAi0).

We know that the blood type's genotype has 2 genes, one from the mother and one from the father.

If the genotype is lAi0 and one gene is, let's say, from mother (lA), we know exactly that the other gene is from father (i0).

So, father's genotype is lBi0 (a).

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Sam would receive 17 boxes of books.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Books ordered by Sam this week is given as:

120 books on Monday

286 books on Wednesday

To find the number of boxes Sam received if there are 24 books in each box.

Solution:

Total books ordered by Sam this week = 120+286=406

The total number of books is packed in boxes of 24 books each and received by Sam.

Thus, total number of books must be divided by 24 to find the number of boxed Sam would receive on Friday.

Total number of boxes of Books received by Sam = \frac{406}{24}=16.91\approx 17

Thus, Sam would receive 17 boxes of books.
