The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder.

The GCF of 24 and 120 is 24. The LCM of 24 and 120 is 120. Therefore the difference between the GCF and LCM = 120 - 24 = 96
The GCF is 68, the LCM is 68
By difference do you mean in terms of meaning, that is: GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 24 and 120 which is the largest number that divides both, namely 24 LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of 24 and 120 which is the smallest number into which they both divide, namely 120 or numerically, as in |LCM - GCF| = |120 - 24| = 96
The GCF and LCM of 24 and 42 are 6 and 168 respectively.
