Chapter 1 - divisibility & primes problem set - # 14,15

by dman Wed May 14, 2008 12:42 pm

Here are two problems within the strategy guide that I'm having dificulty with

14. If w is aprime number, and z=36w, what is the least common multiple of z and 6w, in terms of w?

15. If y=30p, and p is prime, what is the greatest common factor of y and 14p, in terms of p?

Disregard the other question re: LCM & GCF. This should answer it.

check out the reply I gave to your first question about GCF and LCM - see if that helps you to figure these out on your own. If not, come back and tell us!
