LCM & HCF Calculator

Find the LCM and HCF of two or more numbers.

Instantly find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) and HCF (Highest Common Factor, also called GCD) of two or more numbers — a fundamental SSC Quantitative Aptitude skill used in number system, fractions and time-based problems.

How to Use the LCM & HCF Calculator

Enter two or more whole numbers separated by a comma or space (for example 12, 18, 24) and click Calculate. The tool instantly shows both the LCM and the HCF (GCD) of the numbers you entered.

What Are LCM and HCF?

The HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides all of them exactly. The LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest number that is a multiple of all of them. For any two numbers, LCM × HCF = Product of the two numbers.

Why LCM & HCF Matter for SSC Exams

LCM and HCF questions are common in the Number System chapter of SSC CGL, CHSL and MTS Quant sections, and also show up in time-and-work and fraction-based word problems. Practising with this calculator helps you verify your manual factorisation quickly.

Quick LCM & HCF Trick

For any two numbers, LCM × HCF = Product of the two numbers. This relationship lets you find the LCM instantly if you already know the HCF (or vice versa), without repeating the full factorisation process — a useful shortcut when solving time-bound SSC Quant questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I find the LCM and HCF of more than two numbers?

Yes, simply enter as many numbers as you like, separated by commas or spaces.

What is HCF also known as?

HCF is also called GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) — both terms mean the same thing.

How are LCM and HCF related?

For two numbers, LCM multiplied by HCF always equals the product of the two numbers, which is a fast way to cross-check your answer or find one value if the other is known.

Which SSC exams test LCM and HCF questions?

LCM and HCF appear regularly in the Quantitative Aptitude section of SSC CGL, SSC CHSL and SSC MTS, often in word problems involving timing or grouping.
