Example: 72 and 120.

The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

The factors of 120 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120

Now, which are the same?

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Which number is the largest?

24, the GCD

Alan Turning was a man from the UK who had many different professions. He was a scientist, mathematician and even a long distance runner.

Pythagoras was born on 570 BC in Greek. He is responsible for Pythagoras theorem. Rene Descartes, born on 1596 in France, is responsible for Cartesian coordinate or graph system. George Boole, born on 1815 in English, was the founder of Boolean logic. Euclid, a Greek mathematician was responsible for Euclid's Geometry and book called Euclid's Elements. Thales, a Greek, was born on 624BC came up with five geometrical theorems.

Napier's bones, used for calculating products and quotients of numbers was also called Rabdology. Napier first published his method in 1617.

Charles Babbage originated the concept of a programmable computer. While Babbage had no research team,. Ada Lovelace did corresponded with him during his development of the Analytical Engine.

The French mathematician Francois Viete, also known as Seigneur de la Biogitere, did important work towards promoting new algebra, which used letters in equations. Because of this, new algebra was a key stage leading to modern algebra.

Thales of Miletus, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher considered widely to be the first Greek philosopher, has been mentioned in anecdotes that suggest he was involved somehow in politics and in business. Some evidence suggests that he did not engage deeply in philosophy until after his political career.

Rene levesque is famous because he was the first quebec politicaian since confederation to attempt to negotiate political separation for quebec

he loved maths

he ate too much and died of diebetes

was a mathematician that discovered synthetic and projective geometry

· Cantor was the first mathematician to put a firm logical foundation for the term "infinity," and described a way to do arithmetic with infinite quantities useful to mathematics. He stated that a collection is infinite, if some of its parts are as big as the whole. Cantor also was able to demonstrate that there are different sizes of infinity.

· Cantor revolutionized the foundation of mathematics with set theory.

o One to One Correspondence: He showed that you could make a one-to-one correspondence between the natural numbers

§ (1, 2, 3, 4, ... } and the integers (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ...}

o Continuum Hypothesis: The cardinality of the set of all subsets of any set is strictly greater than the cardinality of the set

o For any set A, cardinality(powerset(A))>carinality(A)

· Transfinite numbers

o Used to count the number of integers and the number of real numbers

he illigally did something

Archimedes was born in Syracuse, Sicily and probably spent most of his life there.

Once upon a time a really fat dude was taking a bath and in the bath he realized how light he was in water. So he thought he was some genius and ran around the streets naked saying "I found it!" but in greek. So then everyone went crazy and thought a bath tub was some new type of weight loss program, but they got fat again when they got out, they got mad and killed Archimedes. No one ever used the bath tub as a weight loss program again, because people were scared to run around the town like some idiotic nudists. The end.

the answer is 18 because 6x3=18 and 6+3+6+3=19
