The HCF helps when reducing fractions. The LCM helps when adding or subtracting fractions.
HCF is 48 and LCM is 576
hcf = 42, lcm = 84.
The HCF is: 2The LCM is: 2,520
weighing scales
hcf: 1 lcm: 112,038
LCM is 20 and the hcf is 10
HCF = 3... LCM = 18 !
HCF is 60 and the LCM is 360
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
LCM is used to find the lowest common denominator in fractions HCF is used to reduce fractions to their simplest terms
For the division of quantities
No. The LCM MUST be a multiple of the HCF.
