List the ages of two people in your life, one older than you and one younger than you. It would be best if the younger person was 15 years of age or younger.
Find the prime factorizations of your age and the other two persons’ ages. Show your work listed by name and age. Make sure your work is clear and concise.
Find the LCM and the GCF for each set of numbers. Again, be clear and concise. Explain or show how you arrived at your answers.
In your own words, explain the meaning of your calculated LCM and GCF for the ages you selected. Do not explain how you got the numbers; rather explain the meaning of the numbers. Be specific to your numbers; do not give generic definitions.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Did your classmates calculate the LCM and GCF correctly? Are their interpretations correctly applied to the ages?
How would you like us to help you with this assignment?
I am 55 years old (Melvin) and I am supposed to list the ages of two people in your life which is my mother in law(Saraha) whom is 70 years old is the one older than me and one younger than me is my friend (Peter), he is 40 years old. I am supposed to find the prime factorizations of my age which is 55 yrs. old and the other two persons’ ages which is my mother in law whom is 55 and my friend who is 40 yrs. old. I am supposed to show my work listed by name and age. Make sure that my work is clear and concise.

To answer this question, I will first provide an example with my own age and the ages of two people in my life. Let's say I am 25 years old, and the two people are my younger sibling, who is 12 years old, and my older cousin, who is 30 years old.
To find the prime factorization of each age, we need to break down the numbers into their prime factors.
Prime factorization of 25:
25 = 5 * 5
Prime factorization of 12:
12 = 2 * 2 * 3
Prime factorization of 30:
30 = 2 * 3 * 5
Next, we can find the least common multiple (LCM) and the greatest common factor (GCF) for each set of ages.
LCM of 25, 12, and 30:
To find the LCM, we need to find the smallest number that is divisible by all three ages. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can identify the common factors. The LCM is then the product of all the unique prime factors raised to their highest power. In this case, the LCM is 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 = 300.
GCF of 25, 12, and 30:
To find the GCF, we need to find the largest number that divides evenly into all three ages. Again, looking at the prime factorizations, we can identify the common factors. The GCF is the product of these common factors. In this case, the GCF is 2 * 5 = 10.
The LCM represents the smallest common multiple of the ages, which indicates the next point at which all three ages will coincide. So, in 300 years, our ages will align again (though it's highly unlikely we will live that long).
The GCF represents the largest common factor or divisor of the ages, indicating the maximum number of years that can evenly divide all three ages. In this case, 10 is the maximum number of years that can evenly divide 25, 12, and 30.
When evaluating my classmates' postings, I would need the specific numbers they provided to determine if they calculated the LCM and GCF correctly. I would also assess if their interpretations of the LCM and GCF applied correctly to the ages they selected.
