What is the difference between finding the least common multiple and finding the greatest common factor of two numbers?

The GCF is what goes into the numbers, the LCM is what the numbers go into.
Example: 30 and 42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Select the common factors.
2 x 3 = 6, the GCF
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCM.

What is the difference between finding a factor and finding a multiple?
a factor is what you multiply by a multiple is the answer
Why is the answer in subtraction called the difference?
Its because you are finding the "difference" between the two numbers.
How do you find out the formula for a Quadratic Sequence?
A quadratic sequence is when the difference between two terms changes each step. To find the formula for a quadratic sequence, one must first find the difference between the consecutive terms. Then a second difference must be found by finding the difference between the first consecutive differences.
What are other names for subtraction?
finding the difference of two things.
Why is finding the least common multiple important?
It will help when you are trying to add and subtract fractions.
What is the difference between finding a factor and finding a multiple?
a factor is what you multiply by a multiple is the answer
When do you use GCF and LCM?
Gcf you use when you are finding the greatest factor for the numbers. Lcm you use when you are finding the smallest multiple in the numbers factors
What is the difference between innovation and finding?
Innovation is something new. Finding is rediscovering something.
Which strategy of finding the greatest common factor and least common multiple do you prefer?
My preferred strategy is factorisation and Venn diagrams.
Subtracting one number from another is finding what between them?
That is called the difference between them.
How do you decide when to compare numbers using ratios rather by finding the difference of the two numbers?
Finding the difference between two numbers involves rationalising them
Difference between research discovery and invention?

Is there any difference between research and facts finding?
it depends on your religious beliefs
What is the least common multiple of 1386 and 2058?
The least common multiple is the product of the two numbers divided by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 1386 and 2058 is 42. (See related question for information on finding their GCF.) So, the least common multiple is 1386 x 2058 ÷ 42 = 67,914.
What is the difference between finding the factors of a number and finding the prime factors of a number?
No difference. Once you've found the factors of a number, the prime numbers on that list are the prime factors.

What is the lowest common multiple 64 and 10?
The Least Common Multiple of 64 and 10 can be determined by finding the Greatest Common Factor of the two, which is 2, and 64/2(10/2)*2 = 32(10) = 320.
