Frequently Asked Questions
What is GCD (Greatest Common Divisor)?
GCD is the largest number that divides two or more numbers without a remainder. Also called GCF (Greatest Common Factor) or HCF (Highest Common Factor).
What is LCM (Least Common Multiple)?
LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. It's useful for finding common denominators in fractions.
How do GCD and LCM relate?
For two numbers a and b: GCD(a,b) ร LCM(a,b) = a ร b. This relationship can help verify calculations.
When do I use GCD vs LCM?
Use GCD to simplify fractions or divide items evenly. Use LCM for scheduling, finding common denominators, or when things need to align periodically.
