Factor them. Example: 30 and 42
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42

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.
Not at all. For example: gcf(101, 102) = 1 gcf(40, 80) = 40
No. Although the greatest common denominator of a pair of numbers is infinite, the size of the numbers doesn't affect the GCF as much as the difference between them. The GCF of 100 and 102 is 2. The GCf of 33 and 66 is 33.
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3.
The product of the GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is equal to the product of the numbers.
