Lowest Common Multiple And Greatest Common Factor

LI: to practise finding the highest common factor and the lowest common multiple.
LI: to simplify fractions.
This week for maths we were learning about the lowest common multiple and the greatest common factor. We learnt that the lowest common multiple is the lowest number that both numbers of the equation have in their times table. The greatest common factor has to be the highest matching amount that you can get from multiplying two numbers and it's the opposite for the lowest common multiple.
