I said C because 450 and 3000's lowest common factor is 150 and then you find the least common factor of the x and y 2 and 3.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
least common multiple or greatest common factor?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
if it's gcf, the answer is c. if it's lcm, it's neither
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's what I meant. gcf.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
well the question says lcm. that's why i'm unsure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 3000 x 450 = 1350000
OpenStudy (anonymous):
gcf is multiplying numbers to equal the total..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not together
OpenStudy (aripotta):
but we're trying to find the lcm lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know you still don't multiply them together
