The GCF of 24 and 25 is 1. The LCM of 24 and 25 is 600.
24 and 25 share no common factor except 1, so they are coprime (relatively prime). When two numbers are coprime their LCM is simply their product: 24 × 25 = 600.
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25.
Common factors: 1. The greatest of these is 1.
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
25 = 5 × 5
GCF: multiply the prime factors both numbers share: there are none, so the GCF is 1.
LCM: multiply every prime the maximum number of times it appears in either number: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 600.
Divide the larger number by the smaller and repeat with the remainder until it is 0. The last non-zero remainder is the GCF.
The last non-zero remainder is 1, so GCF(24, 25) = 1.
Multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, ...
Multiples of 25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, ...
The first number in both lists is 600.
1 × 600 = 600 = 24 × 25. This always holds for two numbers, so you can find the LCM as (24 × 25) ÷ 1 = 600.
24/25 is already in lowest terms because the GCF of 24 and 25 is 1.
