How to find GCF and LCM
- 1
Enter your numbers
Type two or more integers separated by commas, spaces, or line breaks. Example: 12, 18, 24.
- 2
Read GCF (GCD)
The greatest common factor is the largest integer that divides all numbers evenly. GCF(12, 18) = 6.
- 3
Read LCM
The least common multiple is the smallest number all inputs divide into. LCM(12, 18) = 36. Simplify ratios with the ratio calculator.
GCF and LCM methods
GCF (GCD) is the largest integer dividing all numbers. LCM is the smallest positive integer divisible by all numbers.
- Prime factorization — alternative method for small numbers
- Two numbers minimum — enter at least two integers
Example: GCF(12, 18) = 6; LCM(12, 18) = 36.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GCF and GCD?
They are the same — Greatest Common Factor and Greatest Common Divisor both mean the largest integer dividing all numbers evenly.
How is LCM calculated?
LCM is built from the GCF relationship: LCM(a, b) = |a × b| / GCF(a, b), extended to multiple numbers.
Can I enter more than two numbers?
Yes. Enter any list of non-zero integers. Both GCF and LCM apply to the entire set.
What is GCF used for?
Simplifying fractions, finding common denominators, and solving ratio problems. GCF(8, 12) = 4 means 8/12 simplifies to 2/3.
Is this GCF LCM calculator free?
Yes. Free with unlimited calculations and no signup.
