What is the difference between the GCF and th GCM of 18 and 360?

Answer 1

-- The difference is that the 'GCF' is a well respected and very useful concept

in arithmetic, whereas there is no such thing as the 'GCM'.

-- The Greatest Common Factor of 18 and 360 is 18 .

-- There is no Greatest Common Multiple. If someone walks in with number that

he claims is the Greatest Common Multiple of 18 and 360, simply add 360 to it

and you'll have a new common multiple that's greater than his number.

-- The Least Common Multiple of 18 and 360 is 360 .

-- The difference between the GCF and the LCM of 18 and 360 is 342 .

Answer 2

The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite and will not be able to be subtracted from. The difference of the GCF and LCM is 342.
