LCM and GCF Calculator

This LCM and HCF Calculator App is developed for all those students who find it difficult in calculating LCM and HCF in mathematic homework.

LCM stands for “Least Common Multiple”, where HCF stands for “Highest Common Factor”.

LCM refers to a number that is commonly dividable for all the numbers in a set without leaving a remainder behind.

For example,

Multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12…

Multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and so on…

From the above-mentioned 2 sets of multiples, 4 is the least common multiple.

Thus, we can say that the LCM of 2 and 4 is 4.

While, HCF is the largest number that divides two or more numbers is the HCF for those numbers.

For example,

Taking numbers 30 (2 x 3 x 5), 45 (3 x 3 x 5).

So, 3 is the largest number that divides each of these numbers and is HCF of these numbers.

These calculations seem pretty easy in doing right? But in cases when you have to deal with the biggest sets of numbers, this app comes in handy.

It is a simple app that takes no time in finding LCM and HCF, thus making your calculations faster.

How to use this app?

The process of using this LCM and HCF calculator app is simpler than you think.

Step 1: Put the numbers in the respective input field of the app.

Step 2: Next after selecting the type of method you want to choose tap on the button “calculate” to get your results.

Step 3: Last of all, the LCM and HCF of the provided numbers will be showed to you on your mobile screen.

The formula for finding LCM and HCF:

Let’s take x and y two positive integers and you need to find out its LCM and LCF

LCM (X, Y) = X × Y / GCD (X, Y) Where GCD is the greatest common divisor or HCF of the numbers X and Y.

This easy formula can be employed to get the accurate answer while dealing with LCM and HCF manually.

Uses of LCM and HCF Calculator App:

The concept of applying LCM and HCF of two numbers originates with the most basic mathematical functions such as addition and subtraction on fractional values.

In basic math contexts where we paired two things against each other, the LCM and HCF value is beneficial in optimizing the quantities of the provided items.

Also, in software engineering, the LCM and HCF of integers helps develop encoded messages using cryptographic techniques.

So, why are you wasting time by doing lengthy and hectic calculations by yourself when you have this amazing app in your hand?
