Question

given any two numbers, which is greater, the LCM of the numbers or the GCF of the numbers? why?

Answer 1

The Least Common Multiple, Because GCF Means The SGreatest Multiple The Two Numbers Share, While The LCM Is The First Number They Can Be Multiplied By To Get.

Answer 2

Answer:

LCM

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given any two number

We have to find that LCM of the numbers larger or GCF  is larger.

Suppose we have two numbers

a=6 and b=2

$a=6=2\times 3$

$b=2=2\times 1$

GCF: It is defined as the highest common factor of given numbers.

LCM: It is least common multiple of given numbers.

GCF=2

LCM=6

Hence, LCM is larger then GCF because LCM is a least common multiple while GCF is a highest common factor.
