The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
I'm not entirely sure this question has enough information to be answerable; however, a positive integer with the same number of positive factors as 175 is 75. Both have 6 positive factors.
NO!!! '27' is a multiple of '9' However, '9' is a factor of '27'
If the numbers have to be positive, at least one of the two factor must be 1. In that case the product will be greater than or equal to 1 and equal to the other factor.If the numbers can be negative, in addition to the first case, any product of a positive and a negative integer will be less than or equal to both of the two factors. The product is negative so it's automatically less than the positive factor. If the positive factor is 1, the product is equal to the negative factor; if the positive factor is > 1 the product is less than the negative factor. E.g.1 * -14 = -14 which is equal to -14 and less than 1-3 * 5 = -15, which is less than both 5 and -3
The product of two integers will be: * Zero, if one factor, or both, are zero. * Positive, if both factors have the same sign (both positive, or both negative) * Negative, if the two factors have different signs. Actually, these rules apply to all real numbers, not just to integers.
