What is the least common factor of 4 and 5?

The least common factor is a term often mistakenly given to either the greatest common factor (GCF) or the least common multiple (LCM). This term is not often used because it does not describe a useful relationship between numbers. Since 1 evenly divides all integers, 1 is technically the least common factor for any set of integers.4 and 5 are relatively prime, which means that they share no factors aside from 1.The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.


Is 37.5 a prime number?

No. The term prime number only applies to integers, such as 37 or 38. 37.5 is not an integer.


Is 0.123 a rational number?

Yes, 0.123 is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. 0.123 can be written as 123/1000(123 and 1000 are integers and the denominator is not equal to zero).


What does prime number mean in math term?

A prime number is a number that can only be equally divided by 2 integers 1 and itself


Is the sum of the squares of integers separated by a value of 2 will always be even?

It looks to me as if that's true. I reasoned thusly, and scratched it outon the margin of my coffee-stained notepad:You gave me integers separated by 2, so the integers are [x] and [x+2].-- Their squares are [x2] and (x+2)2-- That's [x2] and [x2 + 4x + 4].-- The sum of their squares is [x2 + x2 + 4x + 4]= [ 2x2 + 4x + 4 ]-- Since [x] is an integer, each term in that trinomial is an integer.-- The coefficients are '2' and '4', so each term is an even number.-- So their sum is even.-- Q.E.D.

What does it mean for two nonzero whole numbers to be relatively prime?

It means they have no common factors. This term is really only useful for integers, preferably positive integers.


All whole numbers are integers?

all number can be negative or positive. :) The term "whole numbers" is ambiguous; sometimes it is used for integers, sometimes only for non-negative integers. It is better to use the more precise terms "integers", "positive integers", "non-negative integers", depending on what you want to say. it is also false if your looking for this answer caue it could be like 0.3,0.5 there not whole numbers


Is subtraction of even whole numbers closed?

Unfortunately, the term "whole numbers" is somewhat ambiguous - it means different things to different people. If you mean "integers", yes, it is closed. If you mean "positive integers" or "non-negative integers", no, it isn't.

Are natural numbers counting numbers and positive numbers different names for the same set of numbers?

Natural numbers are the same as counting numbers, but the term positive numbers means something else. Natural or counting numbers are positive integers, but the category of positive numbers includes both integers and fractions, as long as they are greater than zero.


Is 12 whole number?

Yes. Whole numbers, or integers, include both positive and negative numbers; any number that has no decimals or fractional part. Actually, the term "whole number" is used in different ways by different people; some use it only for positive (or non-negative) integers; so it is probably safer to use the term "integer" or "positive integer", to clarify your intended meaning, and avoid the term "whole number" entirely.


What do integers allow you to do that whole numbers do not?

The term "whole numbers" is ambiguous; it may refer either to integers, or only to positive integers (perhaps including zero). The set of integers is closed under subtraction, that means, you can subtract any number from any other number. This is not possible in the set of counting numbers (non-negative integers).


What is a nonzero whole number that can be evenly divided into that number?

Any non-zero whole number can be evenly divided into itself. If n is a whole number, n/n = 1. In fact, 0 is the only number, whole or not, for which this is not true. Additionally, 'whole number' is a vague term. It can refer to non-zero positive integers, positive integers including zero, or all integers depending entirely on the meaning of the person using the term.
