How to Find the GCF and LCM
GCF: multiply the prime factors every number shares, at the lowest power
LCM: multiply every prime factor that appears, at the highest power
For two numbers: GCF × LCM = a × b Euclid: gcd(a, b) = gcd(b, a mod b)
Worked Example
Tips
Use the GCF to simplify fractions (24/36 ÷ 12 = 2/3) and the LCM to find a common denominator (1/24 + 1/36 uses 72).
