Question 344611
The GCF of 2 numbers is 12 and the LCM is 1980. Find the best pair of numbers that fit this description
------------------------
Prime factors of 1980 = 2^2*5*3^2*11
---
The GCF = 2^2*3
-----------
One of the numbers is 12x where x = 5 or 3 or 11
The other number is 12y where y = 5 or 3 or 11
---
The pair could be 12*5 and 12*33
Or the pair could be 12*11 and 12*15
Other pairings are possible.
----
I'm not sure what is meant by "best" pair.
