Question

How is the process for finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) and the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of a set of numbers the same, how are they different?

Answer 1

GCF = Finds the greater factors between two numbers or more. LCM is finding the two smallest numbers in common between numbers.

Answer 2

it's easier to show it

24 and 32

gcf is found by multiplying their factors, only the common factors
24=2*2*2*3
32=2*2*2*4
gcf=8

and the lcm is found by gropuing all the factors not repeating the ones common to both
so lcm will be 2*2*2*3*4 or 96
