Question

Nehmev thinks of two numbers. The H.C.F. of these two numbers is 6 and one of the numbers is 24. What could have been the second number?
Brainiest will be marked.

Answer 1

Answer:

since 24 = 6*2^2

any multiple of 6 that does not also have 2 as a factor:

6*1=6

6*3=18

6*5=30

6*7=42

Answer 2

Answer:This may help you

Step-by-step explanation:

HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F).

The Highest Common Factor (H.C.F) of two (or more) numbers is the largest number that divides evenly into both numbers.

In other words the H.C.F is the largest of all the common factors.

The common factors or of 12 and 18 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.

The largest common factor is 6, so this is the H.C.F. of 12 and 18.

It is very easy to find a H.C.F. of small numbers, like 6 and 9 (it is 3) or 8 and 4 (it is 4).

The best way is to keep finding the factors of the smaller number, starting from the largest factor. The first factor of the smaller number that is also a factor of the larger number is a H.C.F.

LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLE (L.C.M.).

The Lowest Common Multiple (L.C.M) is the smallest number that is a common multiple of two or more numbers.

For example, the L.C.M of 3 and 5 is 15 .(see the example above).

The simple method of finding the L.C.M of smaller numbers is to write down the multiples of the larger number until one of them is also a multiple of the smaller number.

Example 1:

Find the Lowest Common Multiple of 8 and 12.

Solution: Multiples of 12 are 12, 24...

24 is also a multiple of 8, so the L.C.M of 8 and 12 is 24.
