Answer:
The two number are 10 and 12
Explanation:
Two whole numbers have a least common multiple of 60.
We are told that:
-Each number is less than or equal to 12.
The first thing we know is that: one of that two number is 12
The next step would be to find the factors of 60
The factors of 60 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
The factors of 60 that is equal to or less than 12 is
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12
We would find which of these number that has the greatest common factor of 2 with 12
The factors of 10 are: 1, 2, 5, 10
The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Then the greatest common factor is 2...
Also calculating the least common factor of 10 and 12
Multiples of 10:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
Multiples of 12:
12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84
Therefore,
LCM(10, 12) = 60
Therefore, two numbers with the least common multiple of 2 and greatest common factor of 60 is 10 and 12
