The HCF helps in simplifying fractions and the LCM helps in finding the lowest common denominator in fractions
LCM is used to find the lowest common denominator in fractions HCF is used to reduce fractions to their simplest terms
The HCF is: 2The LCM is: 2,520
hcf = 42, lcm = 84.
HCF is 48 and LCM is 576
hcf: 1 lcm: 112,038

If you are a teacher who works with 27 pupils and 18 pupils and
GCF is 60, LCM is 900
LCM is 20 and the hcf is 10
The HCF is: 2The LCM is: 2,520
HCF is 60 and the LCM is 360
HCF = 3... LCM = 18 !
hcf = 42, lcm = 84.
HCF is 48 and LCM is 576
The HCF is always a factor of the LCM of two numbers. The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM. Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.
hcf: 1 lcm: 112,038
No. The LCM MUST be a multiple of the HCF.
