두 수 12와 16의 공배수 중에서 두 자리 자연수의 개수를 구하시오.

Amanita, let’s solve the problem step by step:

Problem Understanding:
We are asked to find how many two-digit natural numbers are common multiples of 12 and 16.

Step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 16

  • The common multiples of 12 and 16 are all multiples of their LCM.
  • We need to find the LCM of 12 and 16.

Step 2: List All Two-Digit Multiples of the LCM

  • Two-digit numbers are from 10 to 99.
  • We will find all multiples of the LCM that are between 10 and 99.

Step 3: Count the Number of Such Multiples

  • We will count how many numbers in this range are multiples of the LCM.

Let’s begin with Step 1.


Step 1: Find the LCM of 12 and 16

To find the LCM, we use the formula:

LCM(a,b)=a×bGCD(a,b)\text{LCM}(a, b) = \frac{a \times b}{\text{GCD}(a, b)}

Let’s calculate the LCM of 12 and 16. Amanita, the least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 16 is 4848.


Step 2: List All Two-Digit Multiples of 48

Now, let’s find all two-digit numbers that are multiples of 48.
A two-digit number is between 10 and 99.

We need to find all numbers of the form 48n48n where 1048n9910 \leq 48n \leq 99.

Let’s find the smallest and largest integer values of nn that satisfy this.


Step 3: Find the Range of nn

  • The smallest nn is the smallest integer such that 48n1048n \geq 10.
  • The largest nn is the largest integer such that 48n9948n \leq 99.

Let’s calculate these values. Amanita, here’s what we found:

  • The smallest value of nn is 1, because 48×1=4848 \times 1 = 48 (which is a two-digit number).
  • The largest value of nn is 2, because 48×2=9648 \times 2 = 96 (which is also a two-digit number).

So, the two-digit common multiples of 12 and 16 are 48 and 96.


Step 4: Count the Number of Two-Digit Multiples

There are two values of nn (1 and 2), so there are 2 two-digit natural numbers that are common multiples of 12 and 16.


Final Answer:
Amanita, there are 2\boxed{2} two-digit natural numbers that are common multiples of 12 and 16.
