choose two numbers from the list 3,4,6,12. Explain the difference between finding the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of the two numbers.
3 & 6 - LCM = 3. 3's multiples are 3, 6, 9,12, 16, etc. 6's multiples are 6, 12, 18, etc. therefore, the least common multiple is 6. GCF - 3's factors are 1, 3, and 6's factors 1, 2, 3. so the greatest common factor is 3.
