Answer:
Highest Common Factor (HCF) or Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest number that divides each of the numbers without leaving any remainder. It is, in fact, the greatest of the common factors of the given numbers.
Least Common Multiple (LCM)
The LCM of two or more given numbers is the smallest multiple of each of the given numbers For example, let us consider the numbers 4 and 6
The multiples of 4 are 4. 8. 12, 16, 20, 24, 28
The multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18. 24. 30...
The common multiples of 4 and 6 are 12, 24.
The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12.
Hence, the LCM of 4 and 6 = 12.
