There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
You do not find the greatest common multiple because there is really no such thing. Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
There is really no such thing as a "greatest common denominator". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCD to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common denominator of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest denominator.
There are potential variables that are kept constant for each trial in a set of trials.
This will be difficult to answer accurately without knowing each set of numbers.

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 least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.

There can never be a greatest common multiple of one number for two reasons:"Common" refers to a multiple that is common to two or more numbers. You cannot have a multiple that is common, but only to one number.If X is the greatest common multiple of a set of numbers, then any multiple of X will also be a common multiple of each member of the set and it will be greater than X. And then, any multiple of this number will be a multiple of each member of the set and will be greater still. And then ...
The lowest common multiple of a set of numbers is the smallest positive integer which can be evenly divided by each number in the set. It is, thus, the smallest number which belongs to the times-table of the each number in the set.
If the set of numbers is 6, 7 and 3, the LCM is 42.
It is the smallest positive integer such that each number in the set divides it evenly.
A set of rules written in place.
The GCF is 8.
Given a set of numbers, their common multiple is (usually) a positive integer which is evenly divisible by each of the set of numbers. Common multiples of variables or algebraic expressions are defined in a similar manner.
