+12 If the least common multiple of the numbers 24 and x is smaller than the least common multiple of the numbers 24 and y, then y/x cannot equal...
A) 7/8
B) 8/7
C) 2/3
D) 6/7
E) 7/6
+128475 Not sure about this....but
A gcm of 24, 8 = 24
gcm of 24, 7 = 168 meets the criteria
B gcm of 24, 7 = 168
gcm of 24 , 8 = 24 does not meet the criteria
D gcm of 24,7= 168
gcm of 24.,6 = 24 does not meet the criteria
E gcm of 24,6 = 24
gcm of 24, 7 = 168 meets the criteria
C gcm 24, 3 = 24
gcm 24, 2 = 24 gcm's are the same.....but gcm of 24,y > gcm of 24,x
So this is the one that cannot be true
So y/x cannot equal 2/3
