Best Answer

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that can divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers.

The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest number that all the members of a given set of numbers can divide into evenly with no remainder.

The lowest common denominator, or LCD, is essentially the same thing as the LCM except the numbers being compared are the bottom parts of fractions.

The process of finding them is the same. The difference is the function of the numbers. With an LCM, you're finding a multiple of whole numbers. With an LCD, you're finding a multiple of whole numbers that happen to be denominators.

Essentially. The same process is used to find both. The LCM compares whole numbers, the LCD compares whole numbers that are denominators.

The "D" in LCD stands for denominator. The LCD is the same process as the LCM of the denominators.

LCM can apply to terms which don't look like fractions

LCD (denominator) has to be fractions.

The LCM of the denominators is the LCD.

They are practically the same except for the fact that LCD is for fractions and LCM is not.

When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators you must find their LCD and this done by finding their LCM

How is lcd and gcd related to LCM and gcf?

GCD and GCF are the same thing. Factors and divisors are interchangeable. The LCD and the LCM are the same process with different results. The LCD produces a denominator, the LCM produces a whole number.


How do you do the LCD on 11 and13?

Since they have no common prime factors, their GCF is 1 and their LCD (LCM) is their product, 143.


What is the LCD of 7x 63 and 8x 72?

The GCF is 9. The LCM is 3528.


What is the lowest common denominator for 12 and 5?

The GCF is 1. The LCM is 10. The LCD is related to the LCM.


What is the GCD and LCM of 34 and102?

Since 34 is a factor of 102, 34 is the GCF and 102 is the LCM.


What is the LCM and GCF of 60 and 72?

The GCF is 12. The LCM is 360.


What is the GCF and LCM of 20 and 36?

The GCF is 4.


How do you find the LCM in fractions?

You don't. LCM and GCF (HCF) refer to whole numbers. You can find the LCM of two whole numbers that happen to be denominators, but in that case we call it the LCD. You can find the GCF of two whole numbers that happen to be the numerator and denominator of a fraction, and that will let you know whether the fraction can be simplified.

What is the common factor of 30 and 60?

30Any time the smaller number goes directly into the larger, the smaller is the GCF (HCF) and the larger is the LCM/LCD.


What is the differentiate of GCF and LCM?

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that can divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest number that all the members of a given set of numbers can divide into evenly with no remainder.
