The integers m and p are such that 2<m<p, and m is not a factor of p. If r is the remainder when p is divided by m, is r>1?

(1) The greatest common factor of m and p is 2.
(2) The least common multiple of m and p is 30.

What's the best way to determine which statement is sufficient? Can any experts assist?

I think you meant to ask:

The integers m and p are such that 2 is less than m and m is less than p. Also, m is not a factor of p.

If r is the remainder when p is divided by m, is r > 1?

1. The greatest common factor of m and p is 2.
2. The least common multiple of m and p is 30.
