Please answer and explain

What is different between greatest common factor and least common multiple

Answer 1

#1
GCF must divide both numbers. So,

2x5x7x7 (c)

#2
LCM must be a multiple of both numbers. So,

2x3x3x5x5x5x7x7 (d)

(e) is also a multiple, but not the LEAST multiple

Answer 2

#1
how to divide both mumbers

Answer 3

2x2x5x7x7 = 2x5x7x7 x 2
2x5x5x7x7 = 2x5x7x7 x 5

There's no number which divides both 5 and 7, so we've reached the greatest factor of both values.

Answer 4

I understand
so, #2
how to multiple of both numbers

Answer 5
