GCD and LCM
What is LCM (Least Common Multiple)? The LCM, or Least Common Multiple, is the smallest number that two or more numbers can all divide into without leaving a remainder. Think of it like finding the smallest shared playground where all your friends can meet at the same time. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12 because 12 is the smallest number that both 4 and 6 can fit into evenly. What is GCD (Greatest Common Divisor)? The GCD, or Greatest Common Divisor, is the largest number that can evenly divide two or more numbers. It’s like finding the biggest shared cookie size that can be cut evenly among your friends. For example, the GCD of 8 and 12 is 4 because 4 is the biggest number that can divide both 8 and 12 without leaving any crumbs.
