Problems in which two different amounts must be split into (the same) number of groups can be solved using the GCF. Problems with events that occur on (different) schedules can be solved using the LCM.

The answer would be one of two choices, the first would be different, the second would be the same. The same applies for the second blank.

To check your answers, let's break down the question:

1. What types of problems can be solved using the greatest common factor (GCF)?
To find out which problems can be solved using the GCF, we need to understand what the GCF represents. The GCF is the largest common factor that divides two or more numbers. It is commonly used when we need to split two different amounts into an equal number of groups. For example, if you have 12 apples and 16 oranges and want to divide them into the same number of groups, the GCF would be used to determine how many groups can be created.

So, your answer is correct:
Problems in which two different amounts must be split into the same number of groups can be solved using the GCF.

2. What types of problems can be solved using the least common multiple (LCM)?
Similar to the GCF, we need to understand what the LCM represents. The LCM is the smallest common multiple of two or more numbers. It is commonly used in problems where events occur on different schedules and we need to find the time or occurrence at which they align. For example, if one event happens every 4 days and another event happens every 6 days, the LCM would be used to determine when both events will occur on the same day.

Your answer is almost correct, but let's make a small adjustment:
Problems with events that occur on different schedules can be solved using the LCM.

So, in summary:
- The GCF is used to solve problems where different amounts must be split into the same number of groups.
- The LCM is used to solve problems with events that occur on different schedules.
