No, the only way the GCF and LCM of two numbers can be the same is if the numbers are the same.

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 LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
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.
If the GCF of two numbers is 12 and the LCM is 24, the two numbers are 12 and 24.
This is an impossible set of numbers. If the LCM was 36, and the GCF was 3, then the numbers would be 6X6.
