I have a question #12 (n,720)=10800 what is the lowest possible value of n???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't understand the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LCM of n and 720 is 10800. what is the lowest possible value of n???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It has to be 10800/720.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mr bank, parentheses is typically used to denote gcd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor#Notation

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

nope

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

keep hoping :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh really, it was wrong? srry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you mean LCM then this is trivial the answer is 10800

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LCM of 720 and n is 10800. So, what is n. That is the question.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

can I give them a clue Mr.Bank?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as you wish asnaseer

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

CLUE: try expressing the number as a product of their prime factors...

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

*numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I would like to work on it on my own for few more mints, just tell me you mean there is a number less than 10800 such that [n,720]=1080 ?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

sorry FFM - just missed ur post :-(

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

hope it wasn't too painful for them - did you use an anaesthetic? :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay the number is 675 :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am getting slowwwwwwwwww these days :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am getting old these days....I even forgot the definition of LCM.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool ffm ;P

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

FFM - wait til u get to my age ;-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, I am too scared to reach that number :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):
