The tenths digit of ds decimal is the smallest prime n.The hundredths digits is twice the tenths digit is the GCF 18 and 27.
what is a ds decimal ?
"The hundredths digits is twice the tenths digit is the GCF 18 and 27."
- makes no sense to me.
please proof-read your post
Well the smallest prime is 2, so now you've got 0.2 something
If the hundredth digit is twice the tenth, then it should be 4. But the part about the GCF being 18 and 27 I don't get
To find the value of the tenths digit, we need to identify the smallest prime number. The smallest prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, etc. We'll check each one to find the suitable value.
Now, let's move on to the hundredths digit. We are given that it is twice the value of the tenths digit and it is also the greatest common factor (GCF) of 18 and 27. To find the GCF, we need to determine the highest number that can divide both 18 and 27.
The prime factorization of 18 is 2 * 3^2, and the prime factorization of 27 is 3^3. To compute the GCF, we need to find the highest power of the common prime factor, which is 3. Since the highest power of 3 in 18 is 3^2 and in 27 is 3^3, the GCF is 3^2 = 9.
Therefore, the hundredths digit is 9. Since the hundredths digit is twice the value of the tenths digit, the tenths digit will be half of that, which is 4.
