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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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 area of the shape?
marshall27 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

the shape is a right trapezium.

you use the following formula:

area of a trapezium = ½ × sum of parallel sides× height.

or simply,

a = ½ ( a + b ) h

where a and b are the parallel sides

and h is the height.

thus,

a = ½ × ( 4 + 6 )× 4

a = ½ ( 10 ) × 4

a = 5 × 4

a = 20

have a great day! au revoir !

I got this question that says to Complete the table for the given rule. and that is y=5x and it says (the chart has only numbers
Ainat [17]

Answer:

X     Y

1       5

4/5   4

2/5   2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5x

We we know y we need to solve for x

X Y

  5

  4

  2

Let y =5

5 = 5x

Divide by 5

5/5 =5x/5

1=x

Let y =4

4 = 5x

Divide by 5

4/5 =5x/5

4/5=x

Let y =2

2 = 5x

Divide by 5

2/5 =5x/5

2/5=x

X     Y

1       5

4/5   4

2/5   2
