To find the GCF and the LCM you have to first at least try to use prime factorization. So use factor trees. Or for the LCM find th least common multiples of the number.
The LCM of 100 and 60 is 300.You can find that is by doing the simplest thing like upside down division of a factor tree. You have to divide with a prime number such as 2,3,5,7,11,13 or a number that cannot be divided by anything but 1 and itself.
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.

16080,240,2,220,2,2,2102,2,2,25,2,2,2,2,2You need another number to compare this one with to find a GCF or an LCM.
The LCM is 12.
you have to use a factor tree
12 = 2*2*316 = 2*2*2*2, with the common factors underlined. So LCM = 2*2*2*3 = 24.
Since 4 is a factor of 600, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM. If that's 30 and 40, the LCM is 120.
The LCM is 144.
The product of the GCF and the LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the original two numbers. Multiply the GCF and the LCM. The original two numbers will be another factor pair of that total. Find the factor pair that has that GCF and LCM.
Find the GCF when you want to simplify a fraction. Find an LCM when you want to add and subtract fractions.
