What is GCF and LCM?
Greatest Common Factor (GCF) A common multiple is a number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. Common multiples of 2 and 3 are 0, 6, 12, 18, … The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number (excluding zero) that is a multiple of both of the numbers.

What is the difference between LCM and HCF?
The highest common factor is found by multiplying all the factors which appear in both lists: So the HCF of 60 and 72 is 2 × 2 × 3 which is 12. The lowest common multiple is found by multiplying all the factors which appear in either list: So the LCM of 60 and 72 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 which is 360.

How do you find the LCM of a number?
For example, for LCM (12,30) we find:
Prime factorization of 12 = 2 * 2 * 3 = 22 * 31 * 5. 0
Prime factorization of 30 = 2 * 3 * 5 = 21 * 31 * 5. 1
Using the set of prime numbers from each set with the highest exponent value we take 22 * 31 * 51 = 60.
Therefore LCM (12,30) = 60.
