ASAP help! Find two pairs of numbers with the given number as their least common multiple. 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 10 by a prime number to get one of the numbers. Multiply 10 by a different prime number to get the other number. Now you've got one pair of numbers that work. Do the same thing with different numbers to get another pair of numbers.

But why prime numbers @BangkokGarrett

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That way we make sure that 10 is the only factor the 2 numbers will have in common. They actually don't HAVE to be prime, but it'll make your job easier here.

Oh ok. Can you all help me with a another one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know. I guess it depends on the question. LOL. Plus I have to go pick somone up in like 3 minutes.
