GCF of 5 and 6
1
LCM of 5 and 6
30
How it works
Break each number into its prime factors:
- 5 = 5
- 6 = 2 × 3
The GCF (1) multiplies the primes both share, at the lowest power each appears. The LCM (30) multiplies every prime that appears in either number, at the highest power — which is also 5 × 6 ÷ 1 = 30.
