What GCD and LCM mean
The greatest common divisor (GCD), also called the highest common factor, is the largest whole number that divides every one of your numbers with no remainder. The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive number that every one of your numbers divides into evenly.
This calculator uses Euclid's algorithm — one of the oldest algorithms still in use. For two numbers, it repeatedly replaces the larger number with the remainder of dividing the larger by the smaller; when the remainder reaches zero, the last non-zero value is the GCD. The LCM is then found from the identity LCM(a, b) = |a × b| ÷ GCD(a, b). For three or more numbers the tool folds the pair-wise result across the list, so GCD(a, b, c) = GCD(GCD(a, b), c) and likewise for the LCM.
It's handy for simplifying fractions, finding common denominators, scheduling repeating events, and any classroom or engineering problem where you need a shared factor or multiple.

What do GCD and LCM actually mean? ▼
How do I enter more than two numbers? ▼
24, 36, 60. The tool works across the whole list, since GCD(a, b, c) = GCD(GCD(a, b), c) and the LCM folds the same way.
