GCF & LCM Calculator — free online calculator.

Formula

GCF via Euclidean algorithm · LCM(a,b) = a×b / GCF(a,b) · GCF(a,b,c) = GCF(GCF(a,b),c)
  • GCF & LCM Calculator calculates its result from First Number, Second Number, Third Number (0 = ignore). It uses the formula GCF via Euclidean algorithm · LCM(a,b) = a×b / GCF(a,b) · GCF(a,b,c) = GCF(GCF(a,b),c). Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are First Number, Second Number, Third Number. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: GCF & LCM

Inputs
  • First Number: 48
  • Second Number: 36
  • Third Number: 0 0 = ignore

Euclidean algorithm computes greatest common factors of two or optionally three integers. LCM(a,b) = |ab|/GCF(a,b). Prime factorization is informational, not used in arithmetic.
