LCM & GCF Calculator
Calculate the Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor of numbers.
What is LCM & GCF Calculator?
An LCM and GCF calculator finds the Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor of two or more numbers.
LCM and GCF are used in fraction arithmetic, scheduling, and number theory.
How does the LCM & GCF Calculator work?
The GCF is found by repeated division (Euclidean algorithm).
The LCM is the product of the numbers divided by their GCF.
How to use the LCM & GCF Calculator?
- Enter two or more numbers.
- The calculator shows the GCF and LCM.
