Hays linens sells hand towels in set of 17 and bath towels in set of six if the store sold the same number of each morning what is the smallest number of each type of towels that the store must have sold

The smallest number of each type of towels that the store must have sold is 102

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the smallest number of each type of towels that the store must have sold, determine the Least Common Multiple (LCM)

Find the prime factorization of the numbers 17 and 6

The prime factorization of the LCM includes all prime factors found in the numbers, with the greatest exponents (if any)

The LCM is

therefore

The smallest number of each type of towels that the store must have sold is 102

1. is 4 and 2. is 3

step-by-step explanation:

so if you look at the first one you see that 1 is to 4 and 2 is to 8 and so on, so you can see for every 1 there is a times 4 so if it were 3 then it would be 3*4 and it is 12

for number 2 it is 3 because 1 is to 3 and 2 is to 6 so for every 1 there is 3 so if it were 3 then there would be 3*3 = 9

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
