The highest common multiple??? That would be infinity...

Highest common factor? That would be the product of shared primes of the numbers prime factorization...

16=2*2*2*2, 24=2*2*2*3 so the product of shared primes is 2^3=8

So 8 would be the greatest common factor

Least common multiple?

That would be the product of the highest occurring primes in their prime factorization...

16=2*2*2*2, 24=2*2*2*3 so the product of highest occurring primes is:

2*2*2*2*3=48

So 48 would be the least common multiple....

The "highest common multiple" would be 48n where n would approach infinity so it would be +oo

The highest common multiple of 16 and 24 is 48.
3 x 16 = 48
2 x 24 = 48

Answer:

The graph of g(x) is wider.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:

$f(x)=x^2$

New function:

$g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2$

Transformations:

For a > 0

$f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}$

$f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}$

$\begin{aligned} y =a\:f(x) \implies & f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed vertically by a factor of}\:a\\ & \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a\\ & \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a\\\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} y=f(ax) \implies & f(x) \: \textsf{stretched/compressed horizontally by a factor of} \: a\\& \textsf{If }a > 1 \textsf{ it is compressed by a factor of}\: a\\ & \textsf{If }0 < a < 1 \textsf{ it is stretched by a factor of}\: a\\\end{aligned}$
