Algebra.Com's Answer #533738 by JulietG(1812)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the greatest number under 100 with those factors, and then add 1. \n" ); document.write( "We can discount 2 and 3 because they multiply to 6. We know that the number must be even (using 2 as a factor) and must end in 0 (factor of 5 that is even). \n" ); document.write( "6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72,78,84,90,96 -- 30,60,90 meet the criteria, all of which are divisible by 5. What about 4? 90 is not evenly divisible by 4. \n" ); document.write( "30 or 60? \n" ); document.write( "Let's try 60 since we're looking for the greatest number. \n" ); document.write( "60/6=10 \n" ); document.write( "60/5=12 \n" ); document.write( "60/4=15 \n" ); document.write( "60/3=20 \n" ); document.write( "60/2=30 \n" ); document.write( "Success! \n" ); document.write( "Add 1 for the remainder.
