GCF - Greatest Common Factor (GCF is always smaller or equal to at least one of the numbers) LCM - Least Common Multiple (LCM is always greater or equal to at least one of the numbers)
The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
Because the GCF is the largest factor common to all the numbers in the sample. The LCM is the smallest number that all the sample numbers will divide into !
The GCF of two numbers multiplied by their LCM will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the GCF, divide it into the product of the two. The result will be the LCM. If the GCF of two numbers is 1, the LCM is their product.
The product of the GCF and the LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the original two numbers. Multiply the GCF and the LCM. The original two numbers will be another factor pair of that total. Find the factor pair that has that GCF and LCM.

LCM and GCF are almost never equal.
The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
Since the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their GCF and LCM, the GCF of two numbers is equal to their product divided by their LCM and their LCM is equal to their product divided by their GCF.
Because the GCF is the largest factor common to all the numbers in the sample. The LCM is the smallest number that all the sample numbers will divide into !
The product of the GCF and LCM is equal to the product of the original two numbers.
The GCF of two numbers multiplied by their LCM will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the GCF, divide it into the product of the two. The result will be the LCM. If the GCF of two numbers is 1, the LCM is their product.
The LCM of two numbers multiplied by their GCF will equal the product of the original numbers. If you know the LCM, divide it into the product. The result will be the GCF.
only if they are equal
In number theory, the product of two positive integers will equal the product of their GCF and LCM. Dividing that product by one of them will give you the other.
It's kind of inverse. The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers will equal the product of the original numbers.
2 x 12 = 24, but there's an easier way if you remember that the product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers will always be equal to the product of the two numbers.
