Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
The HCF helps when reducing fractions. The LCM helps when adding or subtracting fractions.
The LCM is used for integers, not fractions. If you're trying to add unlike fractions, take the LCM of the denominators (known in this case as the least common denominator, or LCD), convert the fractions and proceed.
Use the GCF to reduce fractions. Use the LCM to add and subtract unlike fractions. Carpenters work with fractions a lot.
