GCF and LCM of 2 and 5
The greatest common factor and least common multiple of 2 and 5.
GCF of 2 and 5
1
LCM of 2 and 5
10
How it works
Break each number into its prime factors:
- 2 = 2
- 5 = 5
The GCF (1) multiplies the primes both share, at the lowest power each appears. The LCM (10) multiplies every prime that appears in either number, at the highest power — which is also 2 × 5 ÷ 1 = 10.
