What types of problems can be solved using the greatest common factors? what types of problems can be solved using the least common multiple

The greatest common factor or GCF is the greatest factor any two numbers share or we can say that GCF is the greatest factor that divides two different numbers.

Like the greatest common factor of 12 and 8 is 4.
