The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.

What is the least common multiple of 5 and 23?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 5 and 23 is 1. (See related question "What is the greatest common factor of 5 and 23?" for this calculation.) So, the least common multiple is 5 x 23 ÷ 1 = 115.
What is the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of 18 and 20?
The greatest common factor is 2 and the least common multiple is also 2.
What is the greatest common multiple of 39 and 35?
The greatest common multiple is infinitely large, the least common multiple is 1365, the greatest common factor is 1.
Does the greatest common multiple mean the same as greatest common factor?
no
What is the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 63 and 77?
Greatest common factor (GCF) =7 Least common multiple (LCM) =693
What is the least common multiple of 2 and 211?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 2 and 211 is 1. (See related question "What is the greatest common factor of 2 and 211?" in the link below for more information on this calculation.) So, the least common multiple is 2 x 211 ÷ 1 = 422.
What is the least common multiple of 1386 and 2058?
The least common multiple is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 1386 and 2058 is 42. (See related question for information on finding their GCF.) So, the least common multiple is 1386 x 2058 ÷ 42 = 67,914.
What is the greatest common multiple of 32and 55?
The greatest common multiple of any set of positive numbers is infinity.I suspect you actually want to know the greatest common factor and not multiple.The greatest common factor is 1.
What is the GCM of 12 and 15?
There is no such thing as a Greatest Common Multiple - there are such terms as Lowest Common Multiple, and Greatest Common Factor.
What are the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 20 and 120?
The greatest common factor of 20 and 120 is 20, and the least common multiple of 20 and 120 is 120
What is the greatest common factor and least common multiple of 32 and 49?
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of (32,49) is 1The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of (32,49) is 1568
What is the greatest common multiple of 90 and 108?
The greatest common FACTOR of 90 and 108 is 18. The LEAST common multiple is 540. There can be no greatest common multiple since double that number will be a greater common multiple.
