How is the Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple similar and different? @tennisdude210

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They both show the smallest number they divide into and the greatest. GCF showing the latter. And they can both be found the same way. You have to start out by finding the prime factorizations for the numbers your using.

So they are the same because they are found the same way by looking at all prime factorizations of the 2 numbers. And they are different because one shows the greatest number they divide into and the other shows the smallest number they divide into.
