Is Number a Multiple of Both - From Variables as Factors (Level 2)

This math topic involves evaluating whether a given number \( z, r, y, b, m, r, \) or \( c \) is a multiple of two other specified numbers using prime factorization and variable exponents. Each question presents expressions where a number is expressed through a multiplication of primes raised to certain powers, and the student must determine if this number is a multiple of two others listed. This involves skills related to factoring, recognizing multiples, and working with lowest common multiples. Each question provides two answer choices: "Yes" or "No."
