GCF of 17 and 20
1
LCM of 17 and 20
340
How it works
Break each number into its prime factors:
- 17 = 17
- 20 = 2² × 5
The GCF (1) multiplies the primes both share, at the lowest power each appears. The LCM (340) multiplies every prime that appears in either number, at the highest power — which is also 17 × 20 ÷ 1 = 340.
