This is a variation of the "Why do we have to know this?" debate that has plagued teachers and students as long as there have been teachers and students. The nasty truth is that there are a great many things that you encounter that will turn out to have little or no practical effect on your life. I find joy in problem solving, but you may not. Finding least common multiple answers sharpens your powers of deductive reasoning and that may turn out to be a useful tool or you. At the very least, you may one day have children who need help with their math homework.

Life forms are indeed related. The reason is due to all life forms starting out with a single, unicellular common ancestor, with that common creature radiating into multiple forms to take advantage of its environment.


What are some real life applications of gcf and LCM?

Those are commonly used for working with fractions. You need the least common multiple to find a common denominator, for adding or subtracting fractions. And after doing some manipulations with fractions, you need the greatest common factor to simplify the fractions.Now, whether this is sufficiently "real-life" for you, is another issue. Depending on the career you choose, you many need to work with fractions on a daily basis, or you may hardly ever need them.
