Question

is greatest common divisor the same as highest common multiple?

Answer 1

there is no such thing as a highest common multiple.

Answer 2

for example the multiples of 8 are
\[8,16,24,32,40,...\] and the multiples of 12 are
\[12,24,36,48,...\] and those two numbers have an infinite amount of "common multiples" they do however have one LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE and that would be 24

Answer 3

on the other hand a greatest common DIVISOR is a number that divides both. the divisors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8 and the divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
their greatest common divisor is 4
