You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. the product of an integer and 5 is greater than -32. find the least integer that makes this true.

5n > -32\r\n" );
document.write( " n > -32/5\r\n" );
document.write( " n > -6.4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since n is an integer, the least one greater than -6.4 is -6

2. the quotient of an integer and -3 is less than -18. find the least integer that makes this true.

n/(-3) < -18\r\n" );
document.write( "n > (-18)(-3)\r\n" );
document.write( "n > 54\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The least integer greater than 54 is 55

3. explain how the lcm of a set of numbers can be equal to the greatest number in the set.

\r\n" );
document.write( "Take the set of numbers {2,4}.  lcm(2,4) = 4, the greatest number in the set.\r\n" );
document.write( "This is so often the case, I can't see why they would ask this.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
