Question: `q001. There are three questions in this assignment.2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 60 and 3 * 5 * 7 = 105.
What do the prime factorizations of 60 and 105 having common?
What is the prime factorization of the smallest number which contains within its prime factorization the prime factorizations of both 60 and 105?
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Your solution:
The two have 3*5 in common which equals 15. You must use 2*2* 3*5 with the addition of 7 to find the prime factorization of the smallest number which contains a prime factorization of both 60 and 105. The number is then 420 because 2*2*3*5*7=420

Question: `q002. What are the prime factorizations of 84 and 126, and how can they be used to find the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of these two numbers?
2 * 2 * 3 * 7=84; 2 * 3 * 3 * 7=126; least common multiple is therefore 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7 = 252

I need to see the questions so I can be sure what your answers mean. Most of the time I can tell, but I'm dealing with information that comes in from over 1000 different files, containing a total of about 10 000 questions. While I'm familiar with the content and sequencing of the questions, having written them all, and know what I'm looking for, different students will answer these questions in different ways and I need to be able to relate your answers to the specific wording of each question.
When reviewing my responses you will also need to be able to relate your answers and my comments to the specifics of the original document.
So it will be important for you on future documents to insert your responses into a copy of the original document, according to instructions, without otherwise changing any of the content of the original document.
This will ensure you of the best possible feedback on your work.
