In this lesson, we’re going to learn about the least common multiple and highest common factor. These are important concepts in math because they help us understand how to multiply, add, and subtract numbers. These concepts are used to help students understand how to make sense of large sets of information when they’re trying to figure out what information is most important for learning.
What is Least Common Multiple?
The Least Common Multiple is the smallest multiple of a number. In order to find the multiples of a number, you can list down the multiples of a number. You can do this by multiplying the number by 1, 2, 3, and so on. For example, the multiples of 4 include 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on.
What is Highest Common Factor?
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) is the largest number that can be evenly divided by any given set of numbers. It’s the largest possible number that could divide all the numbers in a set without leaving any remainder. For example, the given number is 12. When the number 12 is divided by 1, the answer will be 12 and there will be no remainder. Therefore, 1 is a factor of 12. The same goes with 3, 4, and 12 which are also factors of 12.
