    LCM & HCF - Definition

    Highest Common Factor (HCF)

    The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides evenly into each of the numbers.

    For example, the HCF of 15 and 30 is 15. 15 divides evenly into 15 and 30, so it is the largest number that does so.

    LCM of two numbers is the least common multiple of the two numbers.

    LCM of two numbers, a and b, is the smallest number that is divisible by both a and b.

    LCM = (a × b) ÷ (a ÷ b)
