GCF and LCM of 26 and 100

The GCF of 26 and 100 is 2. The LCM of 26 and 100 is 1,300.

GCF (greatest common factor, also called GCD or HCF) of 26 and 100 = 2
LCM (least common multiple) of 26 and 100 = 1,300

Method 1: list the factors (GCF)

Factors of 26: 1, 2, 13, 26.
Factors of 100: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100.
Common factors: 1 and 2. The greatest of these is 2.

Method 2: prime factorization

26 = 2 × 13
100 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5

GCF: multiply the prime factors both numbers share: 2 = 2.

LCM: multiply every prime the maximum number of times it appears in either number: 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 13 = 1,300.

Method 3: Euclidean algorithm (GCF)

Divide the larger number by the smaller and repeat with the remainder until it is 0. The last non-zero remainder is the GCF.

100 = 3 × 26 + 22
26 = 1 × 22 + 4
22 = 5 × 4 + 2
4 = 2 × 2 + 0

The last non-zero remainder is 2, so GCF(26, 100) = 2.

LCM by listing multiples

Multiples of 26: 26, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156, 182, 208, 234, ...
Multiples of 100: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, ...
The first number in both lists is 1,300.

Check: GCF × LCM = product

2 × 1,300 = 2,600 = 26 × 100. This always holds for two numbers, so you can find the LCM as (26 × 100) ÷ 2 = 1,300.
