Sidney Crosby is thinking of two numbers. Their greatest common factor is 6. Their least common multiple is 36. One of the numbers is 12. What is the other number?
The answer is 18. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. 18 x 2 = 36, and 12 x 3 = 36, making it the lowest common multiple. The highest common factor is 6. Point for the Bad Apples
