Question

If a = 2^2 x 3^7 x 5^3 x 11^4 and b = 2^2 x 3^5 x 7^2 x 11 x 13, find the following. (leave written as exponents.)
a. GCD (a,b)
b. LCM (a,b)

Answer 1

a) The greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers a and b is defined to be the largest integer that divides both a and b with no remainder.

2^2 * 3^5 * 11^1

b) The least common multiple of two or more non-zero whole numbers is actually the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of the numbers.

2^2 * 3^7 * 5^3 * 7^2 * 11^4 * 13^1
