Chapter 5: Problem 67

Find the least common multiple of the numbers. 240 and 285

Short Answer

Expert verified
The least common multiple of 240 and 285 is \(2^4 \times 3 \times 5 \times 19 = 6840\).

Step by step solution

01

Prime Factorization of the given numbers

Find the prime factorization of each number. For 240, it is \(2^4 \times 3 \times 5 \) and for 285, it is \(3 \times 5 \times 19\).
02

Identifying Common and Unique Factors

Identify common and unique factors between these factorizations. The common factors are 3 and 5, while the unique ones are \(2^4\) and 19.
03

Calculating the Least Common Multiple

Multiply all unique factors along with the highest power of common factors to obtain the LCM. So, the LCM of 240 and 285 is \(2^4 \times 3 \times 5 \times 19\).

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. The sequence for the number of seats per row in our movie theater as the rows move toward the back is arithmetic with \(d=1\) so people don't block the view of those in the row behind them.

Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(0.0004,-0.004,0.04,-0.4, \ldots\)

Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next two terms. \(-7,-2,3,8, \ldots\)

Company A pays $$\$ 23,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 1200$$ per year. Company B pays $$\$ 26,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 800$$ per year. Which company will pay more in year 10 ? How much more?
