urgently needed

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Know how to find the leas common divisor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean LCM

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

True, for them making the least number of stacks.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Or... hmmm.... no. Because the LCM would be smething that can be divided by those numbers.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Greatest Common Factor. That is the one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HCF we have to calculte

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes. But that is not fully factored. 111 is not prime.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

One trick with these is to try using factors out of the one you were able to factor more easily. So try 111/23 and 111/3 and see if one of those gets you another factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

444 = 2*2*3*37 276 = 2*2*3*23

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes. So the common factors are 2*2*3 and that is 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this is answer

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes. GCF or as you put it HCG, Greatest or Highest Common Factor. So stacks of 12.
