Set 1 abstract:

Question 1) They both find common numbers that are related to both a and b. The lcm can be divided by both a and b. The gcd can go into both a and b.

Question 2) I think the four most important numbers are 0, 1, 2, and 5. 0 because anytime you divide by 0 or multiply by 0, it will end up being no solution or 0. 1 is important because 1 can go into any number at all. When you divide a number by 1 it ends up being that number. Same when you divide by 1. 2 is important because half the numbers in the world can be divided by 2, since 2 goes into all even numbers. 5 is important because when you are dealing with prime factorization, this number shows up a lot.

Set 2 concrete:

Question 1) GCD=12 LCM= 252
The product of these two numbers is = 3024

Question 2) I think to find this you divide the product by the lcm because when i did it with question 1 it worked. So if this is how you do this, the answer would be 1/4. I dont see how thats possible but yeahhhh. But if you just divide the larger number by the smaller number, this answer would come out to be 4.
