Prime factorization.
Example: 30 and 42
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.

What number is the GCF 16 and the LCM 160?
The pair of numbers 16 and 160 has a GCF of 16 and an LCM of 160.
What is a number that has 360 as a GCF and 12 as a LCM?
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF or an LCM and the LCM of those numbers can never be less than the GCF. 12 and 360 have a GCF of 12 and an LCM of 360. So do 60 and 72.
What is the LCM of 36 and the GCF of 1?
LCM is Least Common Multiple of 2 or more numbers.So, LCM of 1 number i.e. 36 is not defined. GCF is Greatest Common Factor of 2 or more numbers.So, GCF of 1 number i.e. 1 is not defined.
How can you remember GCF from LCM?
GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor, which is the number two or more numbers share as a factor (the largest one). LCM stands for Least Common Multiple, which is the number that two or more numbers multiply to (the smallest one). An example of GCF: 6 and 9, what is the GCF? 3 An example of LCM: 6 and 9, what is the LCM? 18
What is the GCF and LCM of 15 and 25?
LCM=Least common multiple Thus,the least number that multiplies both 15 and 25 is %. sorry about the GCF ?
Why do you factor?
I factor because the problem I'm solving calls for it. It's the fastest and easiest way to solve for the GCF or LCM.
Which is greater the LCM of the number or GCF of the number?
The LCM of a set of numbers will never be less than the GCF.
Which is greater the GCF of a number or the LCM of a number?
The LCM of a set of numbers will never be less than the GCF.
How do you find the other number when the one number is given with the LCM and the GCF?
The product of the original numbers is equal to the product of the GCF and LCM. Divide the product of the LCM and GCF by the one number. The answer will be the other.
Can a number have the LCM and the gcf the same number?
Only if you're comparing the number to itself. The LCM and GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
Can the LCM and the GCF of 2 numbers be the same number?
Only if they're the same number. The LCM and GCF of 10 and 10 is 10.
When will the LCM and GCF be the same?
When you are comparing a number to itself. The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10.
How could you use the LCM and GCF of 48 and 72 to solve problems?
72,48
How do you identify the gcf and LCM of a pair of numbers if one number is a factor of the other number?
The GCF is the factor, the LCM is the other one.
What is the difference between the GCF and the LCM of 42 and 84?
Whenever one number is a multiple of the other, the LCM is the larger number and the GCF is the smaller number. The difference is 42.
What number pair has a gcf of 5 and a LCM of 60?
5 and 60 have a gcf of 5 and a LCM of 60
Can the LCM and GCF of a pair ever be the same number?
Only if you're comparing a number to itself. The GCF and LCM of 10 and 10 is 10.
