Hot Review!  How to find LCM: 1.First we find the multiples of a number. Example 6: 6,12,18,24,30 and 5:5,10,15,20,25,30 2.Then we look for the LOWEST COMMON multiple is the LCM OF 6 and 30  How to find the GCF: 1.First we write down the Factors of a number 2. Example 6: 1,2,3,6 3.12: 1,2,3,4,6,12 4.Then look for the GREATEST COMMON factor. 5.6 is the GCF of 6 and 12.
