When talking about factors and multiples the numbers are integers (whole numbers).
A factor of a number means that the number is a multiple of the factor; the factor divides into the number without any remainder.
There is no such thing as a Highest Common Multiple - it is always possible to find a higher common multiple (by adding the Lowest Common Multiple to the supposed highest common multiple).
There is a Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) which is the smallest number which is a multiple of two or more numbers. It is also called the Least Common Multiple, or when working with fractions it can be referred to as the Least Common Denominator as the two or more numbers are the denominators of the fractions and equivalent fractions are being sought to be able to do an addition or subtraction.
There is a Highest Common Factor (HCF) which is the largest number which divides into each of the two or more numbers without remainder. It is also called the Greatest Common Factor. If the numbers are relatively prime (or co-prime) their HCF is 1.

What is the lowest common factor of 6 and 16?
Lowest common factor=1Are you sure you don't mean lowest common multiple of highest common factor?Lowest common multiple=96Highest common factor=2
What does HCF and LCM mean?
HCF - Highest Common Factor. LCM - Lowest Common Multiple.
What is the least common factor of 30 and 42?
The least common factor of 30 and 42 is the smallest number that is a factor of both of them and is 1.However, I suspect that you mean either:What is the highest common factor of 30 and 42?ie what is the highest number that is a factor of both 30 and 42: hcf = 6;What is the lowest common multiple of 30 and 42?ie that is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 30 and 42 lcm = 210.
What is the highest common multiple of 8 12 and 16?
There is no highest common multiple of any two or more numbers, for whatever value you come up with I can always add the LOWEST common multiple of the numbers to get an even higher common multiple. If you meant LOWEST common multiple, then LCM(8, 12, 16) = 48 If you mean the highest common FACTOR (the largest integer that divides into all the numbers) then HCF(8, 12, 16) = 4
What does HCF LCM mean?
HCF means Highest common factor LCM means Lowest Common Multiple If ur a girl that asked this then tell me ur buff
What is the highest common multiple of 14 and 40?
There is no upper limit to common multiples. Do you mean LEAST Common Multiple? 280 or HIGHEST Common Factor? 2
What is the lowest common factor of 6 and 16?
Lowest common factor=1Are you sure you don't mean lowest common multiple of highest common factor?Lowest common multiple=96Highest common factor=2
What does HCF and LCM mean?
HCF - Highest Common Factor. LCM - Lowest Common Multiple.
What does LCM mean in maths terms?
it means lowest common multiple. the opposite to it is hcf or highest common factor ^_^
What is the lowest common factor of 25 and 40?
I don't think you mean what you have asked. LOWEST goes with Common Multiple, in this case 200; HIGHEST goes with Common Factor, in this case 5
What is the least common factor of 6 24 and 54?
The lowest common factor of any set of numbers is 1. If you mean the lowest common multiple then this is 216 or if you mean the highest common factor then this is 6
What is the least common factor of 30 and 42?
The least common factor of 30 and 42 is the smallest number that is a factor of both of them and is 1.However, I suspect that you mean either:What is the highest common factor of 30 and 42?ie what is the highest number that is a factor of both 30 and 42: hcf = 6;What is the lowest common multiple of 30 and 42?ie that is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 30 and 42 lcm = 210.

What is the highest common fraction for 49 84 and 91?
If you mean the highest common factor then it is 7
What is the common factor of 273672?
If you mean: 27 36 72 then the highest common factor is 9
What does H C F mean in math?
