FAQ

Common questions

What is LCM?

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that all your numbers divide into evenly. Example: the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.

What is the difference between LCM and GCF?

LCM is the smallest number your numbers all divide into; GCF (greatest common factor, also called HCF) is the largest number that divides all of them. This calculator gives you both.

Can I find the LCM of three or more numbers?

Yes. Enter as many numbers as you like, separated by spaces or commas, and the calculator handles all of them.

Why do students need LCM?

Adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators needs a common denominator — the LCM of the denominators is the smallest one that works.
