The factor list will be finite, the multiple list will be infinite.
The difference is between factor pairs and distinct factors. With square numbers, one of the factor pairs will be the same number twice. When listing the distinct factors, that number is only listed once.
581 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The four factors of 581 are 1, 7, 83, and 581.The factor pairs of 581 are 1 x 581 and 7 x 83.The proper factors of 581 are 1, 7, and 83 or,if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 7 and 83.The prime factors of 581 are 7 and 83.The two distinct prime factors (listing each prime factor only once) of 581 are 7 and 83.The prime factorization of 581 is 7 x 83.NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
If you have two numbers, multiply them together and divide that total by the GCF. The result will be the LCM.
By finding their common prime numbers.
I did it by listing all of the factors of all the numbers from 1 to 100. 60, 72, 84, 90 and 96 each have twelve factors.
The list of factors of a number is a list of numbers that divide evenly into it. A list of multiples of a number is just a list of numbers that the first number divides. Example Factors of 6: 1,2,3,6 Multiples of 6: 6,12,18...
To find the GCF or the LCM of a set of numbers, it is sometimes practical to write out lists of the factors or multiples as the case may be and compare them. This is known as the listing method.

Not normally.
LCM is 40, which is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors in the given numbers (23 x 5).

The difference is between factor pairs and distinct factors. With square numbers, one of the factor pairs will be the same number twice. When listing the distinct factors, that number is only listed once.
Unless a specific number is called for, three common multiples are enough to establish a pattern. For example, the common multiples of 4 and 6 are 12, 24, 36 and so on.

need more than one number an LCM..
The Least Common Multiple of 12, 16 48.
